Kristin Kreuk has reportedly signed on to portray the great flying bird kicker in the upcoming Street Fighter flick from director Andrjez Bartkowiak, probably most well known for the recent DOOM movie. With a script by Justin Marks, the Fox film will put Chun Li in the forefront and follow her on her “journey for justice” while fighting a handful of combatants (where else?) in the street. This version is definitely NOT a sequel to the 1994 Jean-claude Van Damme starring movie, and will reboot the franchise for a modern audience. No word yet, though, on a target release date or on what other Street Fighter characters will be appearing in the film. I’m sure Ken, Ryu, and Guile are no-brainers, but we’ll see.
UPDATE: As it turns out, this movie is titled Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-Li, and the script apparently focuses solely on her character alone, so we can probably forget about seeing the big three (Ryu, Ken and Guile) in this flick. We’ll no doubt be seeing some of the “villains” from the franchise…

I’m hoping for at least Ryu in a supporting role… somewhat of a Schwarzenegger to her Red Sonya…..

STREET FIGHTER MOVIE MUST HAVE RYU AND KEN.
The Street Fighter movie will have Chun Li in the film but it needs to have Ryu and Ken in the film and Guile will make his way in the film and I don’t know if this movie going to turn out well it can be another failure like the Van Damme version did.
So Ryu would be played by Kane Kosugi and Ken will be played by a actor with long blonde hair.
So I hope that Andrzej Bartkowiak better not screw anything up with this movie.
Thank You.
