Disney's live-action "Mulan" is set to be released in 2018! Actresses are being selected worldwide

Disney's live-action version of "Mulan" is scheduled to be released in North America in 3D format on November 2, 2018. Disney is currently searching for a Chinese actress from around the world to play the legendary heroine Mulan. The film will retell the story of the classic Disney animated film "Mulan" (1998).

After the success of films such as "Maleficent", "The Jungle Book" and "Cinderella", Disney decided to make a live-action version of "Mulan". Disney announced that "Jurassic World" screenwriters Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver have joined the team. They will rewrite a script that Disney bought for sale in 2015. The new script will be more detailed and combine classic Chinese folk songs with the 1998 animated film. The director of the live-action version has not yet been determined.

Like the 1998 animated version, the live-action version of Mulan is based on the Chinese historical heroine Hua Mulan, who disguised herself as a man to take her aging father's place in the army. With the help of her trusty guardian dragon Mushu, she became a skilled warrior and one of China's greatest heroines.
