The news that the studio is turning its 1998 animated hit into a live-action title comes after the success of Maleficent, The Jungle Book and Cinderella.

Disney is currently gearing up for the release of the live-action Beauty and the Beast, which opens March 17 and is expected to be one of the top-grossing titles of 2017.

Mulan is based on the Chinese legend of Hua Mulan, the daughter of an aged warrior who disguises herself as a man in order to take her father’s place in the army and go to war.
