In the saga, Blanka, despite his fierce appearance, has a generally passive and docile personality. The film will follow the invitation received by the protagonists to a fighting tournament which turns out to be deadly and changes the course of the plot.
The teaser also introduces other iconic characters: Callina Liang will play Chun-Li, Orville Peck will play the masked Vega, and Vidyut Jammwal will play the powerful Dhalsim.
