We're still gearing up for the release of the highly-anticipated Lion King remake set to star Donald Glover and Beyonce amongst a seriously star-studded cast.

During the Women's World Cup Final, Disney had shared a teaser of the upcoming film which is set to star Jimmy Wong as the character "Ling."

Aside from him, the film will also star Jet Li as the Emperor, Jason Scott Lee as Bori Khan, Donnie Yen as Commander Tung and Liu Yifei as the titular role of the warrior princess, Mulan. The new film will be based on the 1998 animated film, though we can expect a few character differences.
