With Xianniang’s abilities to shape shift and her powers as a witch, there is a definite possibility that she could find a way to escape death or imprisonment and that she could want to take revenge on Mulan for foiling her plans. If one or both of them lives or escapes or if they have family who would avenge their downfall. It could also depend on what happens to the main antagonists in Mulan, Bori Khan a Rouran warrior leader avenging his father’s death and Xianniang a shapeshifting witch. In the animated film her love interest is her commanding officer Li Shang, but in the live action remake the character Li Shang has been split into two characters: mentor and commanding officer Commander Tung, and her fellow new recruit and love interest Chen Honghui.Įven if Mulan’s secret is revealed, it would be interesting to see a sequel where we continue to follow her time as a warrior in the Imperial Army. It is highly unlikely Mulan will keep her secret the entire movie, seeing as she will have a love interest in the Army. In the original Ballad, the warrior fights for her country for 12 years before retiring back to her home, which is when her fellow warriors discover that she has actually been a woman masquerading as a man for over a decade in the army. But, it is also difficult to speculate what could inspire the new story. It is extremely doubtful that this sequel would be in anyway based on the direct to video animated sequel Mulan II. With the latest live-action still waiting to hit theaters, a possible sequel is an exciting prospect, but it opens up the question of what the new story would be. Recently Aladdin’s huge success, grossing over $1 billion worldwide, has led to a sequel being put in the works. This wouldn’t be the first Disney live action remake to get a sequel ordered. Now, whether or not the project moves forward will surely be tied to how well the movie does in theaters later this year, in both China and the U.S. But, it looks like Disney is expecting these changes to pay off.Īccording to a report by Full Circle Cinema, Disney may already have a sequel to the upcoming Mulan film in development. Mulan has already proven to be a bit of a risk for Disney, boasting the largest budget of a live action Disney remake at roughly $200 million, being the first to be rated PG-13, and detouring away from the animated film.
