Coronavirus: Disney's Mulan release date delayed over pandemic panic

Disney have delayed the release date of Mulan amid rising panic surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, it has been reported.

The live action version, featuring Liu Yifei and directed by Niki Caro, was originally set to be released on March 27th in the US, however it is believed that the date has been moved back.

Mulan has already been delayed in various parts of the world, including China, following the virus outbreak.

The studio is also delaying The New Mutants and Antlers, with all three yet to have newly confirmed release dates, Variety has reported.

This comes after Prime Minister Boris Johnson's announcement earlier today that major events would not be banned in England .

But he said that will be kept under review, because “there is also the issue of the burden such events can place on public services” - the reason they’re being cancelled in Scotland.

This is despite Ireland closing all schools and effectively going into lockdown and more than 240,000 people signing a petition calling for the UK to have a month-long Easter break .

In light of the prime minister's announcement, Glastonbury confirmed that the festival will still be going ahead and released their line-up .

Emily Eavis confirmed the news along with a bulging list of confirmed acts for the 50th anniversary year, which she vowed would be 'the best show on earth.'

Among the exciting headliners this year is Worthy Farm first timer Kendrick Lamar, who will be heading to the Pyramid stage on the Friday night.

Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney returns to Glastonbury for another showstopping performance on the Saturday - having last performed at the festival back in 2004.
