HEROES: "BUILDING 26"

NBC has released seven images from "Building 26," Monday's new episode of Heroes.

Here's how the network describes the episode:

"Nathan's (Adrian Pasdar) plans face exposure as Homeland Security begins an investigation under direct orders from the President of the United States. Sylar (Zachary Quinto) and Luke (guest Dan Byrd) embark on a road trip to find Sylar's father, but are secretly being hunted by Nathan's agents. Life gets complicated for the Bennet family as Claire (Hayden Panettiere) goes into action to protect a young man with abilities (guest star Justin Baldoni) from being captured by HRG (Jack Coleman).

"Elsewhere, Matt's (Greg Grunberg) prophetic images lead Hiro (Masi Oka) and Ando (James Kyson Lee) to India and a mysterious ally comes to the aid of our Heroes."

Moira Kelly guest-stars as Abby Collins.

STREET FIGHTER: THE LEGEND OF CHUN-LI

Twentieth Century Fox has released 15 images from Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, the film based on the Capcom property.

Kristin Kreuk, who played Lana Lang on Smallville, stars in the movie, which will reach theaters on Friday, Feb. 27.

Here's ho Fox describes the movie:

"Powerful forces are converging on the streets of Bangkok. They are warriors, some of whom possess extraordinary abilities, all of whom are determined to see their side prevail. Some fight for us; the others for unlimited power. Now, they are preparing for the ultimate battle - of terror versus beauty, light versus darkness, and good versus evil.

"The forces of darkness are led by Bison (Neal McDonough), a crime boss of seemingly limitless power, and whose past holds a shocking secret. Bison's syndicate, Shadaloo, is taking over the slums of the Thai capital, a task overseen by Balrog (Michael Clarke Duncan), a massively built enforcer and killer. Also in Bison's employ is the assassin Vega (Taboo, of the group The Black Eyed Peas), a masked talon-wielding warrior, whose weapon is tailor-made for slashing and stabbing attacks. Bison's attache is the beautiful but deadly Cantana (Josie Ho)."
