•The cast of the upcoming Street Fighter movie has expressed strong enthusiasm for a possible crossover film or appearance in a Mortal Kombat game, following comments from the fighting franchise’s co-creator.
In May 2026, Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon posted online about wanting a Street Fighter guest character in a Mortal Kombat title, saying he was a “huge fan” of Capcom’s flagship fighting game franchise.
With Mortal Kombat II released in theaters earlier this year, the actors were asked whether they’d be willing to team up with characters like Shao Kahn to protect Earthrealm alongside Liu Kang. The consensus was a resounding “yes.”
Andrew Schulz joked that he had been trying to make the collaboration happen through his viral joke at the 2025 Game Awards, where he took shots at the cast of Mortal Kombat II.
This is what we were trying to do at [The Game Awards]! We’re trying to set this thing up!

“That’s what we were trying to do,” Cody Rhodes added. Eric Andre interjected with a reference to Noob Saibot — the names of Ed Boon and John Tobias reversed — before saying, “a crossover? We’re in. Let’s go.”
Andrew Koji, Noah Centineo, and Callina Liang were also enthusiastic about the idea. Koji specifically mentioned Marvel vs Capcom as another possible crossover opportunity, though the likelihood of that particular partnership happening is looking astronomically low.
Hell yeah. I said yes, because I’ve got friends in Mortal Kombat.

“See, he’s got friends that worked on Mortal Kombat, so he’s trying to play nice over there,” Centineo joked about his co-star.
“I love the girl who plays Kitana. I’ve met Adeline a few times. She’s awesome,” Liang said of her fellow cast member.
That’d be sick. But then there’s Marvel vs Capcom. We’ve gotta tap into that.

“I’m down for Marvel,” Liang agreed.
Centineo said he simply wants more Street Fighter content: “If you bring an opportunity to us to be able to come back and reup these incredible characters, I’m down. So if that’s Mortal Kombat, if that’s me kicking Thor in his face, you know?”
A Mortal Kombat x Street Fighter film could present complications, as Mel Jarnson plays a character in both movies. Asked about the possibility on the red carpet at the Street Fighter movie premiere, she said it would be “epic” and suggested Nitara could return.
You would bring Nitara back to life. Sew her back up. She’d be like half-blonde, with a wing. Half-Cammy, half-Nitara.

For now it remains to be seen whether such a crossover film will materialize, though both franchises have a long history of guest characters and crossover games.
Street Fighter releases in theaters on Friday, October 16, 2026.
