Playing the role of Chun-Li in the upcoming film adaptation street fighter Callina Lang from Legendary Studios talks about the rigorous training and specific diet that helped her embody the world’s most powerful women on screen.
To create the character’s instantly recognizable powerful legs, the actress trained for two hours a day in martial arts, including Taekwondo, Muay Thai and Wushu. While gaining weight, Lang ate 12 eggs a day, every two hours, admitting he was on the verge of nausea at times, but the results were worth it – each thigh gained 6.5 centimeters in volume during filming.
Additionally, the actress delved into the original series, recording all of the heroine’s movements in slow motion on her phone to ensure maximum accuracy. Incidentally, her colleague David Dastmalchian, who played the villain M. Beeson, also took the work extremely seriously, studying the archives of real historical dictators and fascist leaders to create an image of a charismatic cult leader.
