Sony has adjusted the release plans for Street Fighter and Phoebe Dynevor’s new shark thriller.
Legendary Entertainment’s Street Fighter has been removed from the release calendar. The live-action Street Fighter had been set for March 20, 2026. The movie is co-developed and produced with Capcom, the company behind the Street Fighter video game. No casting announcements have been made for the action movie.
Last month, Kitao Sakuri signed on to direct Street Fighter, replacing Danny and Michael Philippou. The Philippous had to drop out due to their work on Bring Her Back. Sakuri is best known for directing 2021’s Bad Trip, starring Eric André, Lil Rel Howery, and Tiffany Haddish.
In 1994, Steven E. de Souza directed the live-action Street Fighter. The cast featured Jean-Claude Van Damme as Colonel William F. Guile, Ming-Na Wen as Chun-Li, Raul Julia as General M. Bison, Damian Chapa as Ken Masters, and Byron Mann as Ryu Hoshi. Despite negative reviews, Street Fighter grossed nearly $100 million worldwide and has become a cult classic.
Meanwhile, Sony’s shark movie, Shiver, is moving to 2026. Originally scheduled for August 1, 2025, Shiver heads to the following summer with a new release date of July 3, 2026. Shiver now opens on the Fourth of July weekend against Universal’s Minions 3.
Tommy Wirkola, who helmed Violent Night, directs Shiver, which used to be titled Beneath the Storm. Bridgerton’s Dynevor headlines a cast that includes Whitney Peak and Djimon Hounsou. The plot remains under wraps. Wirkola is producing alongside Adam McKay and Kevin Messick. D. Scott Lumpkin serves as an executive producer.
Shiver’s July 2026 release date arrives days after the 51st anniversary of Jaws, the crowning achievement for shark films and one of the most important summer blockbusters.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
