Following the recent second trailer, we have a new social media teaser for the upcoming Street Fighter reboot, and it features quite a bit of new footage.
The new movie will follow Chun-Li as she brings old friends Ryu and Ken Masters back together in the hopes that they will put their grudges aside and team up to defeat the Shadaloo criminal organisation led by M. Bison.
In addition to spotlighting more of Ryu's battle with Blanka from the first clip, this spot showcases most of the other main characters and their various fighting styles and special moves, including Guile's Flash-Kick, Chun-Li's Spinning Bird Kick, and Ryu unleashing his signature "Hadouken" fireball.
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 to more closely resemble her video game counterpart.
"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.

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!”
