Fans of the kick-ass girl who pretended to be a man to help defend her country is so excited for the "Mulan" live-action movie. Now that Disney has already given the green light for "Mulan" live-action movie, the fans are left wondering who will play Fa Mulan's role.
Possible Actresses To Play Fa Mulan
There are some movies that chose to cast an American woman to play the role of an Asian woman. One concrete example of that is "Ghost In The Shell," which was topbilled by Scarlett Johansson. As expected, it got a lot of backlash from movie critics and audiences alike, as they commented that the movie would have been more realistic if an Asian woman got the lead role. Will an American actress be cast in "Mulan" live-action movie?
One of the reasons why American actresses land the role supposedly for an Asian character is because there is a scarcity of Asian movie stars in Hollywood. Aside from Lucy Liu and Jamie Chung, Hollywood is at loss for an Asian superstar. Now that we have mention Jamie Chung, she has one of the greatest opportunity to play Fa Mulan in "Mulan" live-action movie.
In the series "Once Upon A Time," Jamie Chung filled in the shoes for Fa Mulan's character. She was impressive on the small screen, so perhaps Disney can choose the easy route and choose Jamie Chung to play Fa Mulan in "Mulan" live-action movie.
Another lass that won't have a hard time playing Mulan in "Mulan" live-action movie is Katrina Law. She plays the role of Nyssa al Ghul in "Arrow" series. The girl has mastered some fight moves so she certainly has the cards in her favor if she will be chosen to play Fa Mulan.
Korean actress Park Shin Hye also has the votes of some Disney fans. Although she does not speak English fluently, if she bags the role of Mulan, she will have to learn the English language. As of writing, Disney still hasn't chosen an actress to play the lead role in "Mulan" live-action movie. Stay tuned to GamenGuide for more "Mulan" live-action movie news and updates.
