New Mulan posters have been revealed, showcasing the film's heroes and villains.
Disney has released six new posters for their upcoming live-action reimagining of Mulan. The posters offer close-up looks at the main characters of the film, highlighting the actors behind the roles. Check them out:
Though we've caught glimpses of the various characters in the various trailers for Mulan, this is the first good look we've had at each of the key players. And while past Disney live-action movies have hewed close to the originals, Mulan will take some liberties and offer a different spin on things. As a result, the posters provide some unique teases for the upcoming movie.
Of course, one major absence from the animated film is Mushu, who won't appear in the movie. While films like Aladdin kept the more cartoonish elements and characters alive, Mulan will strive for more realism. Whether that helps it be better received than Lion King, which was criticized for too closely mirroring its predecessor, we'll know soon enough.
Directed by Niki Caro, Disney's Mulan stars Yifei Liu as Mulan, Donnie Yen as Commander Tung, Jason Scott Lee as Böri Khan, and Yoson An as Cheng Honghui, with Gong Li as Xianniang and Jet Li as the Emperor. The film opens March 27.
