'Mulan' Live-Action Movie Release Date, Cast, Latest News & Update: Jennifer Lawrence Cast To Play Mulan? Fans Disagree, Holds Online Petition?

The upcoming "Mulan" live-action movie seems to be getting tangled in a web of controversy related to its cast. There is an ongoing online petition urging Disney to make "Mulan" right because the fans are aghast with the speculations that there will be a new plot for the upcoming Disney reboot. The fans are in total disagreement with the reported proposed script where a White man travels to ancient China to save Disney's spunky Asian hero.

No Asian Actors For "Mulan" Live-Action Movie?

Aside from the script, there is also controversy surrounding the would-be actors and actresses to bring the roles to life in "Mulan" live-action movie. While names of Asian actors and actresses have been making its rounds in online reports pertaining to the cast of "Mulan" live-action movie, another report is putting the "Mulan" fans in a sour mood.

Amid the possible and very qualified Asian actresses named to play the possible role of Mulan, a Hollywood A-lister is reportedly eyed by Disney to play the role of Fa Mulan. Jennifer Lawrence, known for her roles in "X-Men" and "The Hunger Games," is reportedly one of the top choices to star in "Mulan" live-action movie. The die hard fans of "Mulan" are not happy with the choice not because Jennifer Lawrence is not a good actress, but mainly because Jennifer Lawrence is not Asian.

The iconic animated "Mulan" is known to be fully loaded with Chinese characters and culture. The fans wish that Disney would not change the rich, historical Asian culture that "Mulan" has portrayed and hopes to see a full range of Asian characters to star in "Mulan" live-action movie. The top Asian actresses named by fans to play the role of Fa Mulan include Jamie Chung (who already played the role of Mulan in "Once Upon A Time") and Korean actress, Park Shin Hye.
