The Mulan live-action remake may not have a key character and fans are NOT happy

But who is going to teach them to be swift as a coursing river?!

Disney is facing some massive backlash from fans after it appears that they cut one of the major characters from the live-action remake of Mulan. The original 1998 animated movie had Li Shang as the main love interest for Mulan - as well as her commander in the army. Since the movie was released, many fans claimed that Shang is bisexual - as he appears to be attracted to Mulan when she's disguised as a male soldier, as well as when her identity is revealed. A casting call for the live acting remake, though, appears to contain some bad news for the character. The document shows that he's been replaced by a character named Chen Honshu, a fellow soldier who sees Mulan as a rival - and falls in love with her when he finds out she's a woman. https://twitter.com/nerdyasians/status/985901721678303233 While the casting call was first released last year, fans are only now realising what this means for the role of Li Shang. And they're not happy one bit. https://twitter.com/brookIynmarvel/status/986059466671116288 https://twitter.com/alyzzabel/status/986106803481141248 https://twitter.com/nykaiya/status/986385015587196929 https://twitter.com/katlibra/status/985955624331694080 https://twitter.com/INDIEWASHERE/status/986226402511945729 https://twitter.com/atomicwick/status/985930585989410824 It's worth noting, though, that the studio hasn't actually confirmed that the character has been cut - and that the 'new' character's name could be a dupe.
