Here comes a new challenger. The new Street Fighter movie has found its female lead in the form of Callina Liang, who starred in the haunted house horror film Presence last year. Deadline reports that Liang will play Chun-Li, one of the franchise’s most iconic characters. The film is set to hit theaters on March 20, 2026.
In addition to Presence, Liang also starred alongside Benedict Wong in the heist thriller Bad Genius, and appeared in the TV series Foundation and Tell Me Everything. She’ll join a cast that also includes Andrew Koji (Warrior) as the martial artist Ryu, Noah Centineo (Warfare) as his friend Ken Masters, Jason Momoa (Aquaman) as the electric beast-man Blanka, Roman Reigns (Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw) as the demonic Akuma, and masked country musician Orville Peck, in his big-screen debut, as the similarly masked warrior Vega. No plot or character details have yet been revealed, but the film, the third big-screen adaptation of the iconic video game, will involve the forces of good, Chun-Li included, gathering to oppose the tyrannical M. Bison and his forces of evil via the power of kicks, punches, and the occasional hadouken.
