Disney+ may have prematurely revealed when the upcoming live-action remake of Mulan will be available to stream.
On Twitter, a fan asked Disney+, "where is my live action Mulan?" In response, Disney+'s technical support account tweeted, "it'll be approximately available to subscribers on October 27, 2020." However, the reply has since been deleted, seemingly indicating the date is either incorrect or that it wasn't yet meant to be revealed.
Mulan was originally supposed to arrive in theaters March 27. However, two weeks prior to its release, Disney removed it from the schedule due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Then, on April 3, it was given a new release date of July 24, which will make it the second major post-shutdown blockbuster following Warner Bros.' Tenet, assuming neither is delayed.
That said, should Mulan hit theaters in July, an October Disney+ premiere isn't necessarily out of the question. While Oct. 27 would fall in line with the typical theater-to-digital home video window, Disney has made such films as Onward, Frozen II and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker available to stream early on Disney+.
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 arrives in theaters July 24.
