Disney released the clip during halftime of the FIFA Women’s World Cup final, which feels like a respectable bow to examples of strong women.

Chinese actress Liu Yifei does not disappoint as the young Asian woman who rejects her expected destiny of being a good wife in favor of surreptitiously joining the Imperial army under the guise of a man, so that her ageing father does not have to.

In addition to Yifei as the titular heroine, the film will star Donnie Yen as Mulan’s mentor Commander Tung, Jet Li as the Emperor of China, and Gong Li as the movie’s villain. Niki Caro, who is most famous for helming Whale Rider, has assumed director duties for the flick.

Unlike its live-action predecessors Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King, Mulan is not expected to be a scene-for-scene remake of the original animated version, which came out in 1998.

We’ll get down to business on March 27th 2020.

And trust us, she’s a girl worth fighting for.

The film is the latest live-action reworking of the animated classics which the studio released in the 90s.

The Forbidden Kingdom star, Yifei Liu, was cast in the titular role following more than a year of searching for the perfect actress.

Production has now begun on the movie which tells the story of a young Chinese woman who poses as a man to join the army and defend her country.

The film, which will shoot in China and New Zealand, recently added a second villain to its cast in the form of Jason Lee Scott as Bori Khan.

The Jungle Book actor will join Yoson An as Mulan’s love interest, Chen Honghui, Donnie Yen as a commander and mentor to Mulan, and Jet Li as the Emperor of China in the picture from Whale Rider director, Niki Caro.

Mulan will get down to business on the 27th of March 2020.
