Here comes Mulan

Disney has released the first teaser for its upcoming, live-action version of the 1998 animated movie musical, Mulan.

The preview showed Mulan (Yifei Liu) riding a horse, then being told by her family that a marriage has been arranged for her and that being quiet, composed and disciplined is the way to be a good wife. Mulan is also seen defiantly employing these qualities as she secretly trains to be an excellent warrior.

Co-starring Donnie Yen, Jason Scott Lee, Yoson An, Gong Li and Jet Li, the movie is set for release on March 27, 2020.

“When the Emperor of China issues a decree that one man per family must serve in the Imperial Army to defend the country from Northern invaders, Hua Mulan, the eldest daughter of an honoured warrior, steps in to take the place of her ailing father,” said a synopsis accompanying the teaser.
