Ever since Disney announced that "Mulan" live-action movie will be one of their upcoming projects, a lot of controversies have surfaced related to the said movie. The primary concern of "Mulan" live-action movie fans is the fact that a non-Asian character might be given the lead role of Fa Mulan.
The arguments on cultural difference focusing on the physical aspect of the lead stars heightened when Scarlett Johansson was cast as the lead actress in "Ghost In The Shell." Critics pointed out that Scarlett Johannsson is in no way similar to the lead character in "Ghost In The Shell."
However, producers pushed through with the project, leaving some fans disappointed. Will "Mulan" live-action movie elicit the same reactions from the fans?
