We've had a few exciting Street Fighter sneak peeks in recent weeks, and another comes our way (via GameFragger.com) thanks to Dan Hibiki actor Andrew Schulz. He shared a couple of Instagram Stories, showing Callina Liang as Chun-Li and Noah Centineo in full costume as Ken Masters.
The latter looks like he's stepped straight out of Street Fighter 5, and based on what we see of Chun-Li's iconic hairstyle and her studded blue collar, this take on the character is more in line with the classic Street Fighter 2 version.
It's hard to say when a full cast reveal will be released, but those first look stills are going to generate a lot of excitement if the reactions on social media to brief glimpses like this are any indication.
Video game adaptations have found a greater level of critical and commercial success in recent years than ever before. Street Fighter is a property with heaps of potential, and should this first instalment prove a hit, then sequels and spin-offs are sure to follow.
Chun-Li is a skilled martial artist and Interpol officer; she's known for her lightning-fast kicks and iconic blue qipao outfit. Driven by her father's death, she seeks justice against the Shadaloo organisation.
As for Ken Masters, he's a brash, wealthy martial artist who trained in Ansatsuken alongside Ryu. Known for his fiery Shoryuken and aggressive fighting style, Ken balances his thrill-seeking personality with family life.
Currently in production, the Street Fighter movie will honour the quarter-pumping, button-mashing spirit of the '90s classic while levelling up for a new generation of fans.
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!
