I guarantee you that the actual Chinese have made this movie about a billion times already.
Aladdin didn't kill off the live action remakes? Really?

Hell no. Lion King and Maleficent 2 are set for later this year, then Lady and the Tramp (on Disney+), then Mulan and Cruella (in similar vein to Maleficent), and they just pushed Little Mermaid into production. They aren't even close to being finished.
Why Mulan and not Jigaboolan? I though Disney remakes were supposed to be woke.
Also, not sure how one would wokify this story when the female struggle is front in center. All you can hope is that they don't bastardize the original's moral and force it down one's throats.

Aladdin has made $320M domestic and $600M foreign, so no. The $920M box office movie did not kill the genre.

The fact that a half baked effort like Aladdin made money just further proves that Disney has mentally enslaved humanity.
Mulan doesn't look bad, and it certainly looks like it isn't trying to just remake the old animated film, which I'm fine with.
But why is Mulan not in disguise on the battlefield?

I remember hearing that they're making a Black little mermaid too.
My guess is that the scene in the trailer is the final battle after she has already been exposed.
Imfuckingplying that song will be anywhere near this movie. Some exec is going to explain that "that song doesn't really fit into our vision of a modern Mulan film" closer to release, guarantee it.
Meh, shit movies have been making bank since the dawn of cinema.

Unpopular opinion: If they make it a more true to history version of the Hua Mulan story I will totally go see it. I don't see Disney doing that though.

This is like the inverse of Aladdin and B&B. While those two were frame by frame remakes that added basically nothing to the story, this seems like almost an entirely different movie that only shares the Mulan title because brand recognition

I read that they're not putting Mushu or singing into the movie because in the animated one, both things offended people in China and caused it to be thrown out of theaters early over there. That they're going to try and stay true to the source material with this one. Gotta get them Chinabux.
I said this in a previous topic, but the funny thing there was already a live action Mulan made by China and it actually had Jackie Chan playing a badguy, probably the only movie he ever did that in. The film itself wasn't really that good, and well the only bright spot you had was Jackie playing a Mongolian warlord and just hamming it up.
