It's only been a day since Disney announced the exciting news that they're going to take on the 1998 animated flick as their next big screen project, but fans were quick to give their two cents on who should take on the lead role, and it's not a far-fetched choice.
Twitter users jumped on the social media website and began rallying to have actress Ming-Na Wen, who voiced the character for Mulan in the original Disney flick, reprise her role for the live-action film, because duh! It makes complete sense!
It looks like she's up for it, too! After seeing the large response, Wen tweeted, "Wow, so many tweets to @Disney announcement for a live-action #Mulan. Thank U4 wanting me 2B in the film! Tweet @DisneyPictures about it! xo."
Not gonna happen. She's 51 years old. I know Asian genes are amazing, and she could pass for being in her late 20s/early 30s, but Mulan should be played by a young actress.

Probably the only time I have ever agreed with something you've posted. Milan def needs to be played by someone younger.
On another note, I hope they get Legend X to redo Reflection for the soundtrack. This movie needs that iconic song in it.
I want Jamie Cheung to play Mulan but she is Korean so idk if they are looking for Chinese in particular. I dont want no half asian playing a full fledged Asian.
She never said she wanted to play Mulan again. Just that she'd love to be in the film. She can play the mother, it seems like a right of passage sort of thing.
