MULAN Adds Utkarsh Ambudkar and Ron Yuan to the Cast

Disney is adding more people to the cast of their live-action Mulan. Utkarsh Ambudkar from Pitch Perfect has been cast as the con artist Skath. Also, Marco Polo’s Ron Yuan will play the role of Sergeant Qiang who is described as “the ‘fiercely loyal’ second in command of the Imperial Regiment.” These two stars will join Liu Yifei playing Mulan, Donnie Yen who will have the role of Mulan’s mentor, Jet Li as the emperor, and Gong Li will play the villainous witch.

Niki Caro is directing Mulan which is currently slated for release on May 27, 2020. The story will most likely be very similar on the animated movie with Mulan disguising herself as a man to join the Imperial army in her father’s place. Filming is expected to begin in China and New Zealand later this year.
