10 Big 2018 Movies You Should Be Worried About
4. Mulan (2018)
Reason To Be Worried: The music may be cut altogether, and a fan-favourite character has seemingly been axed.
A Mulan movie without any of the songs that made the original animation so special just wouldn't be Mulan, but surprisingly, this possibility seems to be on the table.
When director Niki Caro stated in an interview with Moviefone that there are "no songs right now" you could literally hear the fan outcry, and though she did clarify in a later interview that the team behind the movie has "never talked about songs", that's not exactly a confirmation one way or the other.
And on top of the possible lack of music, a pivotal character from the original, Captain Li Shang, may not be in the movie at all, with a casting call indicating he will be replaced by a character called Chen Honghui instead.
Unlike Serkis' Jungle Book, we've never had a live-action Mulan movie before, so this is one case where fans just want a faithful translation of a story they know and love.
That's the point of Disney's recent remakes, after all. They know that people love these stories, and will pay to see them again. But a Mulan movie without several of Mulan's best aspects? That won't be the same.
