Street Fighter movie to get tie-in graphic novel from Legendary

Legendary Comics has a graphic novel coming, telling the tale of the Street Fighter movie’s main heel, as well as some of the World Warriors.

Back on the big screen

As most fans know pretty well by now, there’s a fresh stab at adapting Street Fighter to the big screen that’s on the way. The film has a laundry list of big name talent in it, and is aiming to land in theaters on October 16th, 2026.

Aside from the above, we just got a look at one of the battles from the film, with the insane looking Ryu vs Blanka. If you’ve seen it, then you know that Street Fighter looks like it’ll be embracing wilder side of the iconic Capcom video games. If you haven’t, well, we hope from the above that you won’t expect it to be ‘grounded’.

That said though, the movie itself won’t be the only piece of Street Fighter content coming up.

If it’s Tuesday, it must be M. Bison

Revealed at Comic Con, Legendary Comics is planning a graphic novel tie-in for the above film. Among other characters, that’ll feature the series’ main villain, the psycho-powered M. Bison. Yes, the headman himself will make the leap from the movie, where he’s played by actor David Dastmalchian.

Speaking of, Dastmalchian will be back for the graphic novel as well. No, we don’t just mean in terms of his likeness, we mean that David Dastmalchian will be writing part of the book. Not that that should come as a huge surprised for fans. He’s written plenty of comics over the years, with Street Fighter: The Official Movie Graphic Novel just being the latest.

As mentioned, he’ll be writing M. Bison’s story, though the title will stock more than that. Also included will be stories centering on Chun-Li, Guile, and Dhalsim. Amy Chu will be writing Chun-Li’s portion, with Nick Marino penning the additional tales. There’s no release date just yet for Street Fighter: The Official Movie Graphic Novel, but stay tuned. We’ll have more for you as soon as it’s released.

We can tell you now though, that there’ll be no shortage of World Warriors on bookshelves this fall. Landing just a few days after the film opens, fans can look for DK publishing’s Street Fighter: The Making of the Movie. That’ll hit shops on October 20th, 2026.
