'Mulan' Super Bowl trailer: Liu Yifei steps up as China's unlikely hero in action-packed new trailer

Among the many teaser clips that dropped at the Super Bowl, was a new 'Mulan' trailer that sheds light on the invading army of “murderers” lead by a powerful witch Xianniang (played by Gong Li) out to take over the imperial city. The trailer of the live-action film sees the rise of a new hero in Liu Yifei as Hua Mulan, the legendary female warrior who takes the place of her ageing father to battle it out with the invading armies.
Packed with some gravity-defying stunts and explosive action scenes, this trailer gives the supporting cast featuring Donnie Yen as Commander Tung, Yoson An as fellow soldier (and Mulan's love interest) Chen Honghui, Tzi Ma as Mulan's father, and Jet Li as the emperor of China, enough time to shine.

Fans of the animated 1998 classic will, however, miss the presence of Mushu, in this flick that will reportedly be based on the original folktale, 'The Ballad of Mulan'.
Helmed by Niki Caro, with the screenplay by Elizabeth Martin, Lauren Hynek, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, and backed by Walt Disney Pictures, 'Mulan' will hit theatres March 27, 2020.
