The director of the live-action "Mulan" has been confirmed! The producer of "Monster Hunt" has joined

According to US media reports, the director of Disney's live-action version of "Mulan" has been finalized. It will be Niki Caro, the female director who has directed "Whale Rider" and "Northern Storm", and Edko Films President Jiang Zhiqiang will serve as executive producer.

In recent years, Niki Caro has maintained a close cooperative relationship with Disney. She directed the Disney-released "McFarland" in 2015 and is expected to direct the Marvel blockbuster "Captain Marvel". However, since the release date of "Mulan" on November 2, 2018 and the release date of "Captain Marvel" on March 8, 2019 are only four months apart, she should have withdrawn from the competition for the director position of "Captain Marvel".

It is reported that Niki Caro will have extensive conversations and consultations with Chinese cultural consultants and work closely with the Disney China team to ensure the historical and cultural correctness of the film.

Jiang Zhiqiang has served as the producer and overseas distributor of the works of Ang Lee and Zhang Yimou for many years. He has participated in the production of popular blockbusters such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero", "House of Flying Daggers", "Lust, Caution", "Cold War" and "Monster Hunt". His joining will undoubtedly make this Hollywood movie with Chinese history and characters as the background more Chinese.
