Disney's Live-Action 'Mulan' Casts Four Roles, Including New Villain

Back in November, Disney revealed that Chinese actress Liu Yifei would be playing the title character in the live-action movie directed by Niki Caro.

Now, reports have named four more stars for the cast.

Later on April 12, The Hollywood Reporter revealed three more stars for the cast:

• Gong Li ("Raise the Red Lantern," "Farewell My Concubine," "Memoirs of a Geisha," "Miami Vice") has been confirmed as the villain of the movie, THR reports. She's playing a powerful witch, in what sounds like a departure from the animated movie.

• Jet Li ("Romeo Must Die," "The Expendables") is reportedly in final talks to play the emperor of China.

• Xana Tang will play Mulan's sister, THR reports, in another new role for the live-action movie.

It made $304.3 million at the worldwide box office.

"Mulan" will join Disney's slate of successful live-action reboots, including "Maleficent," "Cinderella," "The Jungle Book," "Beauty and the Beast," and the upcoming "The Lion King" and "Dumbo."
