Round 1... Fight!
The cast and director of the new Street Fighter movie were on hand at CinemaCon last night to present some new footage from the reboot, and Paramount Pictures has now released the full trailer and some new posters online.
The first teaser focused on introducing the various combatants that will compete in the World Warrior Tournament, but this trailer gives us a better idea of what to expect from the plot (such as it is), as Chun-Li brings old friends Ryu and Ken Masters together in the hopes of defeating the Shadaloo criminal organisation led by M. Bison.
It seems Ken still holds a grudge over something that happened in their past, however.
The footage does a great job of spotlighting most of the main characters and their various fighting styles and special moves, including Guile's Flash-kick, Zangief's Spinning Piledriver, Chu-Li's Spinning Bird Kick, and, of course, Ryu's "Hadouken" fireball.
Check out the new trailer and posters below, and let us know what you think in the comments section.
Kitao Sakura (The Eric Andre Show, Twisted Metal) signed on to direct Street Fighter after Talk to Me filmmakers Danny and Michael Philippou parted ways with the project.
“Set in 1993, estranged Street Fighters Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) are thrown back into combat when the mysterious Chun-Li (Callina Liang) recruits them for the next World Warrior Tournament: a brutal clash of fists, fate, and fury. But behind this battle royale lies a deadly conspiracy that forces them to face off against each other and the demons of their past. And if they don’t, it’s GAME OVER!”
