Back-Story

Originally, Mulan is a 1998 Disney animated film.
Disney did a remake of the 1998 Disney animated film into a live-action $200 million movie. It premiered in the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on March 9th and was scheduled to release on March 27th 2020.

But why are we talking about Mulan and not the action thriller by the innately talented Christopher Nolan?
