We caught up with Noah Centineo (Ken Masters), Andrew Koji (Ryu) and Callina Liang (Chun-Li) to find out what REALLY went on behind the scenes of the new Street Fighter movie!

Noah's incredible transformation is the elephant in the room, while Callina reveals the intense training required to bring the legendary Chun-Li to life, including working out for TWO hours in the morning and another TWO in the afternoon!

The trio also share stories about working with 50 Cent, who apparently rented out a whole theme park for the cast, and reveal who's the biggest kid when it comes to theme park rides - 50 Cent or Jason Momoa?

Plus, we talk food cravings, getting into fighting shape, finding time to relax and whether British star Andrew Koji has taught his American co-stars any British slang!

Street Fighter hits cinemas on 16 October 2026.

00:00You're supposed to have my back. You're supposed to be like,
00:02No, not at all!
00:03Can we talk about the elephant in the room?
00:04This guy's 8-pack. I mean, honestly, I've had a text from a mate saying,
00:09Can you ask him, was it CGI?
00:12No.
00:14No.
00:15Not for this one.
00:16Was he insufferable over it, guys? Because I've seen the pictures.
00:18I saw that selfie last few years ago.
00:22Was he pretty insufferable when it came to showing off the old bod?
00:24I mean, you were, like, shirtless a lot of the times.
00:27But I think also, like, but also, in his defense, it was hot.
00:31And, like, you were, like, shirtless a lot in the movie.
00:33I feel like, yeah, I was shirtless in the movie.
00:35If you're switching, yeah, yeah, I was shirtless a lot.
00:38I'm all, but to be fair, I'm insufferable since before I ever had that 8-pack.
00:43I don't like wearing shirts anyway if I'm outside.
00:46He doesn't like wearing shirts.
00:47Well, it was absolutely amazing.
00:50I mean, the fans are gonna go wild about this.
00:51You're supposed to have my back. You're supposed to be like,
00:53No, not at all! It was so chill!
00:55If I had the 8-pack, I would also be shirtless all the time.
00:59You look insane.
00:59I'm kidding.
01:00I wasn't shirtless because of the 8-pack, all right?
01:03Listen, we enjoyed it.
01:04Honestly, your character was unbelievable.
01:07I fell in love with you.
01:09When you got there, when you read the script, were you like,
01:11You want my legs to do what?
01:12Like, you were like, what?
01:14Yeah.
01:16That was unreal.
01:17Yeah.
01:18I was kind of like, okay, time to really, you know, put in the work.
01:21And I was just training a lot.
01:23Like, two hours in the morning, two hours in the afternoon.
01:25And I found it very therapeutic.
01:27And, you know, she has a lot of anger that needs to come out.
01:30Chung Li's kind of an angry character.
01:32And I found out that I can get angry, too.
01:35And we just connected.
01:36And it was great.
01:37What makes you really angry?
01:39If she doesn't have snacks.
01:40When I'm hungry.
01:42Hangry.
01:43Oh, yeah.
01:43Yeah.
01:44Yeah.
01:45What makes you say that, Noah?
01:46Nothing.
01:47Nothing.
01:48Just a little payback.
01:49What foods did you miss while she was in the zone?
01:52Pizza.
01:54You literally couldn't have one bit of pizza.
01:56No, I was having pizza.
01:57Were you?
01:58It's called balance.
01:59You know, on the weekends.
02:00It's impressive.
02:01Enjoy yourself a little bit.
02:02I just had yogurt.
02:03I had a lot of yogurt.
02:04I didn't go to Yochi.
02:05We had donuts.
02:07Oh, we had donuts, too.
02:08Yeah, there was amazing donuts.
02:10In Australia.
02:11But in the prep, though, I feel like we were all very regimented.
02:13I think we only...
02:14We didn't eat carbs.
02:15Did you eat actually?
02:16I had carbs.
02:17Yeah.
02:18But me and Koji stopped eating carbs.
02:20Well, you looked unbelievable.
02:22Honestly, I can't wait for the world to see this film.
02:2450 Cent doesn't want to do things normally, does he?
02:27He doesn't want to do, like, standard cast bonding.
02:30He wants to rent out, you know, theme parks and stuff.
02:32Like, was that quite...
02:33Was that quite epic?
02:34Like, was it as cool as it sounds?
02:36It was incredible.
02:37He's...
02:3850 Cent is...
02:39I feel like he was a mentor to a lot of us.
02:41And he took this extremely seriously.
02:43He was actually on set.
02:45He moved to Australia to film for about a month.
02:49And he doesn't just go anywhere for a month.
02:51That's not what he does.
02:51He could be doing a lot of other things.
02:53And so, when he was walking around on set,
02:55he would say,
02:56I just want to thank you guys for being a part of my movie.
02:58You know, it is.
03:00He was...
03:01Excuse me.
03:02I like the way that he also pitched himself for the movie.
03:04I mean, have you guys now taken that on board for the next film?
03:08Just gonna, you know, message Steven Spielberg,
03:09say, can I...
03:10I'm gonna be in your film.
03:11Yeah, I've already started doing that to everybody.
03:14No, I'm kidding.
03:15I have a little email.
03:16Who's the biggest kid then?
03:17Jason Momoa or 50 Cent at a theme park?
03:21Ooh, 50 Cent.
03:22Well, Momoa.
03:23No, Momoa's more of a kid, I'd say.
03:25I don't know.
03:27Momoa is...
03:27Momoa is so gregarious,
03:29and he's...
03:29He's bigger than life,
03:30and, like, he comes in, you can...
03:32You know, he's just...
03:33You feel his energy from a mile away.
03:35He likes that fun.
03:36He's so positive and uplifting, so...
03:38I love that teddy bear.
03:39And was there any down moments?
03:41As in, like, not as in, like,
03:42you weren't having to kick and do all these things.
03:44Did you have any kind of chill time?
03:46I mean, yeah, we had time to go to the sauna.
03:49Recovery, though.
03:50That's active recovery.
03:51That's not really...
03:51We didn't chill that much.
03:52Yeah.
03:53I agree with you.
03:54I thought that was...
03:55That was kind of downtime.
03:56I didn't want to relax.
03:57Yeah.
03:58Have you learnt any Brit stuff?
03:59Like, British...
04:00Britishisms from this one?
04:02Yeah.
04:02Water.

04:06In it.
04:06Fish and chips, mate.
04:08In it.
04:08Do you know what I mean?
04:09Mate.
04:12You taught me so much.
04:13Hey, Koji.
04:14Did you learn any Britishisms since you...
04:16You trust some.
