Watch out, Superman. Lana Lang is squeezing into some tights of her own.
Kristin Kreuk, who plays the love interest of a young Man of Steel on The CW’s “Smallville,” has been cast as Chun-Li (pictured at left), the fast-kicking, high-flying star of the upcoming “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.”
The film is based on the immensely popular video game from Capcom. (Producers would rather you forgot 1994’s “Street Fighter,” the Jean Claude Van Damme film panned by critics and gamers alike.)
Few details about the new film are available, except that it is built around an ensemble cast but will focus on, well, the legend of Chun-Li.
According to her IMDB biography, the Indonesia-born Kreuk is of Chinese and Dutch ancestry and has a purple belt in karate.
Other cast members include Neal McDonough as the villain M. Bison, Michael Clarke Duncan as boxer Balrog, the Black Eyed Peas’ Taboo as Vega and Chris Klein as Charlie Nash.
