Disney has revealed the first trailer for the upcoming live-action remake of Mulan, directed by New Zealander Niki Caro.
The film was shot in New Zealand by the Whale Rider director, and stars Chinese-American actress Yifei Liu in the titular role.
The trailer depicts Mulan's story as a more dramatic war film than the animated musical from 1998.
New Zealand's majestic landscapes are on display in the teaser, which shows Mulan break away from her expected role as a wife to become a warrior who takes the place of her ailing father.
Mulan is based on the Chinese legend of Hua Mulan, which tells of a female warrior who disguised herself as a man to fight in her father's place.
