With Walt Disney Pictures and director Niki Caro (The Zookeeper’s Wife) gearing up to begin filming this summer, THR is reporting that the live-action remake of Mulan has added Utkarsh Ambudkar (Pitch Perfect) and Ron Yuan (Marco Polo) to its cast.

The new additions join the previously announced Liu Yifeu (The Chinese Widow) will play the title character, a young female warrior who disguises herself as a man in order to join the Chinese military, sparing her elderly father from service. Also featuring in the cast are Donnie Yen (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), Jet Li (The Expendables), Gong Li (Ana) and Xana Tang (Filthy Rich).
