Mulan is helmed by Niki Caro.At the D23 Expo on Saturday, Walt Disney Studios president Sean Bailey and director Niki Caro unveiled footage from Mulan. The film is a live-action remake of the 1998 animated classic Mulan.
The footage starts with Mulan heading to a matchmaker with her sister and mother. The matchmaker lays out rules on how a good bride-to-be should behave. During the meeting, Mulan, in order to save her sister from a spider, gets into action mode. This seems inappropriate to the matchmaker who declares her unfit to get married.
