This year alone has seen the release of
Dumbo,
Aladdin, and
The Lion King (with the latter releasing in just a week's time). Up next, in terms of live-action Disney remakes, is
Mulan.
Mulan stars Yifei Liu as the titular warrior and is directed by Nick Caro. Other members of the cast are as follows: Donnie Yen, Li Gong, Jason Scott Lee, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Tzi Ma, Rosalind Chao, Doua Moua, Chen Tang, Jimmy Wong, and Jet Lee as The Emperor. The script comes from Lauren Hynek, Rick Jaffa, Elizabeth Martin, and Amanda Silver.
We've now gotten our first look at the upcoming remake as; Disney
have debuted the very first trailer and poster for
Mulan as well as an official synopsis.
It seems that the live-action remake of
Mulan will be more unlike the original version than any of the previous Disney remakes. This is backed up by
recent reports which supposed that the upcoming film wouldn't be a musical nor feature Mushu in the same capacity.
Mulan is the epic adventure of a fearless young woman who masquerades as a man in order to fight Northern Invaders attacking China. The eldest daughter of an honored warrior, Hua Mulan is spirited, determined and quick on her feet. When the Emperor issues a decree that one man per family must serve in the Imperial Army, she steps in to take the place of her ailing father as Hua Jun, becoming one of China’s greatest warriors ever.
Mulan will arrive in theatres on March 27th, 2020.
