It's finally here! The trailer for the live-action adaptation of Disney's "Mulan" has officially been released.

The action-packed trailer introduces Chinese-American actress Liu Yifei as the famous Mulan, where we see her show off her sword-fighting skills as she gets ready to take on the battlefield and any new suitors that come her way (the original film’s matchmaking scene plays prominently in the teaser).
The trailer shows off the mountainous areas of China as well as many aspects of the culture through stunning visuals. Fans were quick to notice that some popular characters from the original animated film weren't in this trailer. The original film’s dynamic animal duo, Eddie Murphy’s dragon character Mushu and Mulan’s lucky cricket Cri-Kee were nowhere to be seen.

Yoson An will also make an appearance as Chen Honghui, a confident and ambitious recruit who becomes Mulan’s ally and eventual love interest.
