Legendary Entertainment has secured the exclusive license to live-action film and television rights for the Street Fighter franchise.
All projects will be co-developed and produced in conjunction with Capcom, including a feature film currently in development.
The property has been adapted from its video game source material before. Jean-Claude Van Damme famously starred as Colonel Guile, who joined other martial arts experts in taking on the evil Dictator M. Bison in the 1994 version distributed by Universal.
The Capcom video game launched in 1987 and has sold more 49million units worldwide. The next game is scheduled to come out on June 2.
Legendary is no stranger to adaptations and is working on the upcoming Dune: Part Two.
The company is behind multiple entries in its cinematic Monsterverse including Godzilla Vs. Kong, Godzilla: King Of The Monsters, Kong: Skull Island, and Godzilla; Pokémon: Detective Pikachu; and the Enola Holmes franchise.
