Let's just say, this isn't your 1998 Mulan anymore ...
Now that's what I'm talking about!
It features a majority Asian cast, including Chinese-American actress Liu Yifei who plays Mulan.
Mulan is already been unlike other Disney films since it doesn't center around a stereotypical princess who needs a man to save her.
The teaser trailer was just released for the movie.
And let's just say, things are looking different ...
There's a very serious tone to the trailer, which makes sense since the story revolves around war and breaking societal norms.
RIP the iconic "I'll Make A Man Out of You."
"Yes, from what I understand, no songs right now, much to the horror of my children," the film's director, Niki Caro, said back in 2017.
Noooooo.
He was played by Eddie Murphy in the original flick.
As you can guess, the internet has not been happy that Mushu wasn't part of the trailer.
Is it even a Disney movie if there are no talking animals?!
Mulan's love interest in the film is Chen Honghui, played by Yoson An.
Bring back Li Shang and his gorgeous man bun!!
Things are taking a turn for the supernatural as the new villain in Mulan is a female witch named Xianniang.
So many changes!
Chinese-Vietnamese actress Xana Tang will play Hau Xiu, Mulan's sister.
There was no sister in the 1998 version or the legend that inspired Mulan, so we'll see how it plays out.
In the 1998 version, we remember the Emperor of China being very old, wise, and with a long beard.
While this sounds totally awesome, fans are skeptical of him fitting the "old" mold of what we remember since the actor is only 56.
Meanwhile, the Emperor in the film was like 98 ...
"Disney is aggressively targeting China," the BBC reports.
Disney is hoping to win over the country with this more authentic version of their beloved heroine.
"[The Disney original] was trying so hard to be Chinese, but in a stereotypical way - there's lanterns, fireworks.. they even stuck a panda in there. The humour, the pacing the relationships, are either wholly American, or what America imagines China would be like," Ms Ni told the BBC.
They concluded, "I think this time round, the live action will have a much better chance of winning over Chinese audiences."
Will you still be watching Mulan when it hits theatres on March 27, 2020?
