Disney's Live-Action Mulan Super Bowl Trailer Highlights New Villains

Disney releases a new Mulan movie trailer for the upcoming live-action adaptation of their 1998 animated film. In recent years, Walt Disney Studios has found a fair amount of success with live-action adaptations of films from their animated classics vault. As a result, the Mouse House has plenty more planned, including the upcoming Mulan, based on the 1998 animated movie, which is based loosely on the Chinese legend of Hua Mulan. The story tells of woman, Mulan (Liu Yifei), who poses as a man and enters the Chinese Imperial Army in order to protect her family.

Disney's upcoming Mulan is directed by Niki Caro and will diverge from the animated movie quite a bit, unlike recent live-action adaptations like The Lion King, Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast. For instance, Mulan won't be a musical, nor will it include certain characters from the animated movie, like Mulan's love interest Shang (B.D. Wong), and her small dragon friend Mushu (Eddie Murphy). Caro's movie is going for a more grounded take on the legend, as seen in the already released Mulan movie trailers. However, it will honor the animated film, as evidenced by the use of instrumental versions of songs from the 1998 musical. Now, Disney uses Super Bowl LIV to launch a new Mulan trailer.
