‘Street Fighter’ Removed From Sony Release Calendar, ‘Beneath the Storm’ Shifts to July 2026 and Renamed ‘Shiver’
variety.comJack Dunn In a series of changes to its slate of upcoming films, Sony has removed its “Street Fighter” film adaptation, originally set for a March 20, 2026 debut, from its release calendar and shifted Tommy Wirkola’s shark thriller “Beneath the Storm,” now titled “Shiver,” from August 2025 to July 2026. “Street Fighter” will be co-produced and developed by Capcom, the Japanese videogame developer who launched the original franchise in 1987, and Legendary, who scooped up the TV and film rights for the prolific game series in 2023.
Further details about the film, such as plot, cast, director and writer, are all currently unknown. If eventually rescheduled, this wouldn’t be the first time “Street Fighter” made its way to theaters.
Universal produced a big screen adaptation of the game in 1994, which starred Jean-Claude Van Damme, Kylie Minogue, Ming-Na Wen and Raul Julia.
In 2009, 20th Century Fox released its own spin on the franchise with “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li” starring Kristin Kreuk.
