Callina Liang Surprise in Street Fighter Movie

While preparations for the return of the Street Fighter legend to the big screen continue at full speed, the choice of the name Callina Liang for the character of Chun-Li drew attention. Liang, who also starred in Steven Soderbergh’s Presence, made her name known to the masses, especially with Bad Genius. Andrew Koji will play Ryu in the film, and Noah Centineo will play Ken. It is also claimed that Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is in talks for the role of Balrog.

Chun-Li holds a special place in the gaming world as one of the first female fighters introduced in Street Fighter II. Known for her fast kicks, iconic moves such as Hyakuretsukyaku and Spinning Bird Kick, Chun-Li fights against M. Bison to avenge her father. The character’s sense of justice and fighting skills are expected to be at the forefront in the new film.

The new Street Fighter film, brought to life by Legendary Entertainment and Capcom, aims to make people forget about the previous failed attempts. The recent rise in Hollywood’s video game adaptations increases hopes for this project. Fans are waiting for the iconic characters and legendary fight scenes to be done justice. Let’s see if Chun-Li, starring Callina Liang, can live up to this expectation.
