Is Mulan 2 Happening?

While Disney has not officially confirmed a Mulan sequel, reports suggest that a live-action Mulan 2 is in early development.

• The 2020 Mulan live-action remake had mixed reactions but was still a major Disney+ success, prompting Disney to consider expanding the story.
• The sequel *will not be a remake of Disney’s animated Mulan II (2004) but will explore new stories inspired by Chinese history and mythology.

Possible Plot for Mulan 2

Since Mulan (2020) ended with Mulan refusing a high-ranking position in the Emperor’s army and returning home, the sequel could explore:

1. Mulan’s Return to the Imperial Army

   • A new war threatens China, and Mulan is called back to fight.
   • This could introduce new allies and enemies, possibly inspired by historical conflicts.

2. Mulan’s Marriage & Family Struggles

   • In Chinese tradition, family duty is important—could Mulan struggle with balancing her warrior role and expectations to marry?
   • Could Honghui (her love interest) propose, only for duty to pull them apart?

3. A New Villain – A Dark Sorcerer or Invading Warlord

   • With Böri Khan defeated, a stronger supernatural enemy or foreign warlord could rise.
   • Could Gong Li’s character (Xianniang) return in spirit form, guiding Mulan to unlock her true potential?

4. A Journey to a New Land

   • The Emperor may send Mulan on a diplomatic mission or battle outside China, introducing new cultures and warriors.
   • Could Mulan face warriors from the West (Mongols, Persians, or Romans)?

Returning & New Cast (Expected):

✅ Mulan – Liu Yifei
✅ Commander Tung – Donnie Yen
✅ Chen Honghui – Yoson An
✅ The Emperor – Jet Li
✅ New Villain – TBD (Could be a powerful warlord or sorcerer)

🚨 No Mushu? – Since the first film avoided fantasy elements, it’s unclear if Mushu or other mythological creatures (like dragons or phoenixes) will appear.

Expected Release Date:

• If Mulan 2 is greenlit in 2024, production could begin in 2025, making a 2026 release likely.

Final Thoughts:

Mulan 2 could be a darker, more action-packed story, expanding Mulan’s legend beyond China. Whether she faces a mystical enemy, a political crisis, or a warlord invasion, the sequel has potential—but will fans embrace it?
