Seen this year in “Presence” by Steven Soderbergh, Callina Liang will embody the famous shun-li in the new film adaptation of video games “Street Fighter”.
Ghosts with a fight, there is only one step (or a kick) for Callina Liang. Seen this year in the surprising presence of Steven Soderbergh, who revisited the figure of the haunted house by following the point of view of the entity, the actress won one of the main roles of the new adaptation of the video game Street Fighter which is currently preparing. And not just any since it will embody the legendary Shun-Li, one of the icons of the saga, according to Deadline.
In front of the camera of Kitao Sakurai (Dave, Twisted Metal), who replaced Danny and Michael Philippou (hand and the future substitution) at the controls of the feature film, Callina Liang will succeed Ming-Na Wen and Kristin Kreuk, performer of the agent of Interpol gifted for martial arts in the films respectively released in 1994 and 2009 (as well as a few shots) to Jason Momoa, Walton Goggins, Noah Centineo, Andrew Koji or Roman Reigns.
Which, according to more or less confirmed information and rumors, embody the greenish Blanka, the villain, Ken, Ryu and Akuma, perhaps less known to the general public when he is described as the strongest fighter in the world when he appears for the first time in “Super Street Fighter II Turbo” In 1994, three years after the first steps of Shun-Li. For the time being, this new adaptation has no more synopsis than release date.
In the cinema for the 40th anniversary of the saga?
But everything suggests that it will again be a question of a tournament bringing together the greatest fighters from around the world. And an release in 2027 would allow to celebrate with great fanfare the 40th anniversary of the Capcom video game saga sold in more than 55 million copies since the first “Fight!” was pronounced in 1987 on arcade terminals.
