Overview
- In late August, Callina Liang told Empire magazine she used detailed, method‑style preparation to play Chun‑Li for the new Street Fighter film.
- Liang downloaded every Street Fighter title onto a PS5 and recorded Chun‑Li’s moves in slow motion on her phone so she could study timing and body mechanics.
- She trained about two hours a day in Taekwondo, Muay Thai and wushu, focused on leg strength, and said her thighs grew about 6.5 centimeters by the end of shooting.
- As part of a bulking plan Liang reported eating 12 eggs a day and frequent meals every two hours to build the power needed for signature moves like the Lightning Kick and Spinning Bird Kick.
- The film remains on track for an October 16 theatrical release with a star‑studded cast and a director who has signaled a non‑conventional, fan‑focused approach that aims for game‑accurate choreography.
