Disney's live action Mulan is skipping the cinemas and heading to Disney Plus - but it will cost extra

Disney's live action remake of Mulan is now being released on its streaming platform.

After a number of delays the film will now skip its theatrical release and will head to Disney+ on September 4.

But the film will come at an extra cost to the subscription service - at a premium of $29.99 (around £23).

At the moment only US pricing has been confirmed, but it's likely to be around the same price for other Disney+ territories including the UK.

The film was originally scheduled to be released in March but was delayed indefinitely due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

It stars Liu Yifei as Mulan who disguises herself as a man by the name of Hua Jun in order to enlist herself in the Imperial Army in place of her ailing father.

It will follow a similar storyline to the beloved Disney animation released 1998 but the live action version won't feature the songs such as A Girl Worth Fighting For and I'll Make a Man Out Of You.

Other Disney films including Artemis Fowl and Lady and the Tramp were released onto the streaming platform as part of the £5.99 subscription.

While Pixar's Onward, which had its cinematic release cut short was made available on pay-per-view channels like Sky Store and Amazon.

You can sign up for a free seven-day trial on Disney+ and then pay £5.99 per month or £59.99 per year. Once you're signed up you'll be able to purchase Mulan from September 4.
