This news appeared on an international advert forMulan, which is a live-action remake of their classic animated movie. Though this grittier version strips away all the musical numbers and does not include Mushu, the dragon. Which has come as a disappointment to many fans of the original. TheDisney+advert says this.
Mulanwas supposed to release in the early half of 2020 as one of Disney’s biggest blockbusters of 2020. The ongoing health crisis shut down theaters nationwide. And the release strategy forMulanwent on indefinite pause alongside Warner Bros.‘Tenet. As movie theater chains announced and then renounced reopening dates multiple times, it became unclear whenMulanwould arrive. The press had already screened the movie in March, with the publicity machine in full swing.
Three months isn’t long to wait forMulanto arrive on Disney+ for free. It will be interesting to watch how this all plays out. IfPremier Accessis a hit, and Disney makes a ton of money off the move, you’re able to expect more theatrical releases to go straight to streaming. Many believe Marvel’sBlack Widowwill be next, though those associated directly with the MCU claimBlack Widowis for sure going to theaters first.
