Following the recent second trailer, we have another TV spot for the upcoming Street Fighter reboot, and it features quite a bit of new footage.
During a recent interview with Empire, Chun-Li actress Callina Liang revealed the intense workout routine she followed to bring the popular fighter to life, and add a few inches to her thighs.
"Chun-Li is all kicks. So we did a bunch of Taekwondo training, Muay Thai, and Wushu (Kung Fu). I did two hours of that a day and strengthened my legs a lot and changed my diet drastically. When I was bulking, I ate 12 eggs a day. Every two hours I had to have a meal, and I was on the verge of throwing up. But it worked. By the end of the shoot, my thighs had grown six-and-a-half centimeters each.”
"I downloaded every single version of Street Fighter onto a PS5 and I recorded all of Chun-Li's moves during fights on my phone in slow-mo, so I could play them back and study them," she added.
Check out the new teaser below, along with the first wave of tie-in Funko POPs.
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.
