Legendary Entertainment has reportedly acquired the rights to the classic video game franchise Street Fighter. The studio will reportedly get to work on several Street Fighter-related projects, including a live-action feature film that is currently in development.

Details on this upcoming film are limited at the moment. However, Legendary will collaborate directly with Street Fighter game developer Capcom on the project, which will additionally act as a co-producer. While no casting or production window has been reported, it seems that Legendary is moving energy ahead with the feature. However, Legendary has acquired not only the franchise's film rights but also television rights. While no TV series has been announced yet, the studio would most likely work on adapting Street Fighter for the small screen as well.

One of the best-selling video game franchises of all time, Street Fighter is a fighter game that was originally developed for arcades in the 1980s. Since then, it has spawned numerous sequels and the next installment in the video game franchise, Street Fighter 6, will be released on current and previous-generation consoles on June 2, 2023.
