With the live-action remake of Mulan set for release next month, Disney has shared a batch of international character banners featuring the Chinese epic's six main players.

Acclaimed filmmaker Niki Caro brings the classic tale of China’s legendary hero to life in Disney’s Mulan, which stars Liu Yifei as a fearless young woman who risks everything out of love for her family and her country to become one of the greatest warriors China has ever known.

We recently found out that Mulan has become the first of Disney's live-action remakes to receive a a PG-13 from the Motion Picture Association of America. It was clear from the trailers that Caro's adaptation was going to be very different from the animated film that inspired it. With no songs, no dragon sidekick and a far more serious tone, the movie seemed closer to a David Lean (Lawrence of Arabia) or Akira Kurosawa (Seven Samurai) historical epic than the usual Disney fare.

Check out the posters below along with the most recent trailer and let us know what you think. Mulan hits theaters on March 27.

Jet Li As The Emperor

Jet Li stars as The Emperor of China, who is described as a wise benevolent ruler. When The Huns attack, he issues a decree that one man per family must serve in the Imperial Chinese Army to defend the country from the invading force.

Yoson An as Chen Honghui

Up-and-coming Macanese-New Zealander actor and filmmaker Yoson An will play Mulan's love interest, Chen Honghui. He's described as a confident and ambitious recruit who joins Commander Tung's unit.

Gong Li as Xian Lang

Chinese-born megastar Gong Li will play the main villain of the piece, Xian Lang. She's a powerful witch with shape-shifting abilities, and appears to be one of the only fantastical elements of the animated original that's been retained.

Jason Scott Lee as Bori Khan

Dragon: The Bruce Lee story star Jason Scott Lee will play secondary villain Bori Khan. He is a Hun warrior leader intent on avenging his father's death.

Liu Yifei as Hua Mulan

Chinese-American actress, singer and model Chinese Liu Yifei plays our hero, Hua Mulan. She is the eldest daughter of Hua Zhou who defies both tradition and the law by disguising herself as a man in order to enlist herself in the Imperial Army in place of her ailing father.

Donnie Yen as Commander Tung

Legendary Rogue One: A Star Wars Story actor and martial artist Donnie Yen will portray Commander Tung. He'll not only serve as commander to both Mulan and Honghui, he'll also serve as a valuable mentor to our heroine on her journey.

Retained? I don't remember the bird being able to shapeshift in the original animated movie.
