Plans for a live-action Mulan remake began in 2010, but the project never came to fruition. In March 2015, a new attempt for a Mulan remake was announced and Niki Caro was hired to direct in February 2017. Prior to hiring Caro, Disney announced in October 2016 that a global search for a Chinese actress to portray the title role was underway. A team of casting directors visited five continents and saw nearly 1,000 candidates for the role. The criteria for the role required credible martial arts skills, the ability to speak clear English, and star quality.
Chinese-American actress Liu Yifei was cast in the title role in November 2017. The rest of the cast joined over in 2018.
Liu Yifei (age 32), also known by her English name Crystal Liu is a Chinese-American actress, singer and model. She is widely known as “Fairy Sister” in the entertainment industry and was named as one of the New Four Dan Actresses of China in 2009.
Disney originally sought an Asian director for Mulan and first considered Taiwanese film director Ang Lee. Ang declined because he was promoting his film “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk” at that time. Disney also approached Jiang Wen for the position and finally in February 14, 2017, Niki Caro was hired as the director of the film. Mulan is the second Disney film with a female director and a budget above $100 million following “A Wrinkle in Time.” In a report by Heroic Hollywood, actress Gong Li said that the film’s production budget was $290–300 million due to the “massive and…unprecedented scale” of the sets.
In March 17, 2018, director Niki Caro revealed that the Mulan remake won’t feature any songs from the original film but it will feature instumental versions of the original film’s songs. Caro explained that the songs were deleted because she felt it didn’t fit with her realistic vision of the film but she still tried to “honour the music from the animation in a very significant way”.
