Bartkowiak’s past credits include Romeo Must Die, Exit Wounds and Cradle to the Grave, as well as credits on Speed and Lethal Weapon 4. The Street Fighter film has been penned by Justin Marks, who is also working on other film adaptations including Voltron, He-Man and Super Max.

The upcoming Street Fighter film will focus on Chun-Li exclusively, as she embarks on a journey for justice.
