Disney has revealed the first trailer for the upcoming live-action remake of Mulan, directed by New Zealander Niki Caro.

Mulan is based on the Chinese legend of Hua Mulan, which tells of a female warrior who disguised herself as a man to fight in her father's place.
The live-action remake stars Kiwi actor Yoson An as the primary love interest. An most recently starred in Fresh Eggs and will appear in the upcoming adaptation of The Luminaries.
Kiwi actress Xana Tang - who also appeared in Fresh Eggs - stars as Hua Xiu.
Mulan is expected in theatres March 2020.
