Let’s get down to business…because the live-action Mulan has officially been named!

While Disney’s modern rendition of the beloved animated movie remains quietly underway, the studios finally announced the project’s main star on Wednesday: Liu Yifei. The 30-year-old Chinese actress will lead the film as the Hua Mulan, a legendary female warrior who is believed to have taken her father’s place in the army.

Yifei joins a production helmed by The Zookeeper’s Wife director Niki Caro and executive produced by Bill Kong with producers Jason Reed, Chris Bender and Jake Weiner.

Very excited. Not getting my hopes up about a purely Chinese or East-Asian cast because Hollywood is notorious for whitewashing. Lets hope Disney does this justice.
