Disney released a new trailer for the live-action “Mulan” film, which is set to premiere March 27, 2020.
The movie, which stars Chinese-American actress Liu Yifei, is about a young woman who disguises herself as a man so that she can take the place of her elderly father when he’s drafted to join the Chinese military.
Disney released a first look at “Mulan” last year, when it was revealed Liu had been cast following a yearlong search. Take w look at the new trailer below:
The trailer opens on a similar note as the 1998 animated classic: Mulan’s elderly father is drafted to join the Chinese army, but Mulan takes his sword and disguises herself as a man to enlist in his stead.
It continues, however, to introduce a new character, a witch. There is no mention of Mushu, played by Eddie Murphy in the original, although audiences get a peek of what appears to be an ancestorial dragon.
The original animated movie premiered in 1998 and grossed $304 million worldwide.
Marvel Studios just released the much anticipated teaser trailer to Black Widow, the standalone adventure of Natasha Romanoff’s super spy-turned-Avenger and her blood-stained past.
Scarlett Johansson reprises her role as Natasha/Black Widow in Marvel Studios’ action-packed spy thriller Black Widow — the first film in Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
During “Avengers: Endgame” her character sacrificed her life to help save half of humanity, but “Black Widow” takes place between the events of “Captain America: Civil War” and “Avengers: Infinity War.” Take a look at the trailer below:
“Black Widow” centers on what Natasha Romanoff was up to at the time: evidently, the ex-KGB agent reunites with some of her former comrades, fellow assassins from the “Black Widow program” that spawned an army of highly-trained agents like her.
“I’m done running from my past,” she tells William Hurt, reprising his role as General-turned-Secretary of State Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross.
Florence Pugh stars as Yelena, David Harbour as Alexei aka The Red Guardian and Rachel Weisz as Melina.
Directed by Cate Shortland and produced by Kevin Feige, Black Widow hits U.S. theaters on May 1, 2020.
Walt Disney dropped the first teaser for Pixar’s big summer 2020 flick “Soul” today on Good Morning America asking some serious existential questions.
What do you want to be remembered for? That’s the central question in “Soul,” Disney and Pixar’s upcoming existential animated adventure about a middle school music teacher (voiced by Jamie Foxx) who dreams of being a jazz performer.

You wanna become the person that you were born to be? Don’t waste your time on all the junk of life,” Joe continues in a voiceover.
On his journey to get back to his own body, Joe meets Tina Fey‘s 22, a soul who can’t stand humans but helps Joe on his mission across the cosmos. Other characters are voiced by Blindspotting‘s Daveed Diggs, The Cosby Show‘s Phylicia Rashad, and The Roots drummer Questlove.
Co-directed by Pete Doctor and Kemp Powers, and produced by Dana Murray, “Soul” will be in theaters on June 19.
