Trailers galore: Mulan, The Outsider, The Boys, and more!

Disney has dropped a new trailer for its live-action remake of Mulan, its 1998 animated rendering of the story of legendary Chinese figure Hua Mulan. The live-action version looks like it drops some stuff from the animated version, including musical numbers and the dragon sidekick voiced by Eddie Murphy, but otherwise it’s the same story of a young girl disguising herself as a man to take her ailing father’s place in the Chinese military. Watch below!

The musical numbers may be gone, but that’s still an orchestral version of “Reflection” soaring in the background.

Hitting theaters in March of 2020, Mulan was directed by Niki Caro (Whale Rider) and stars Yifei Liu as the eponymous heroine. Other cast members include Donnie Yen as Commander Tung, Jet Li as the Emperor of China, Jason Scott Lee as the Hun warrior Bori Khan, and Gong Li as the film’s main antagonist, a powerful witch named Xian Lang.

And that’s not the only trailer making the rounds today. HBO has dropped one for its adaptation of Stephen King’s The Outsider, a new series coming in January 2020.

A 10-part miniseries, The Outsider will follow police detective Ralph Anderson (Ben Mendelsohn), as he sets out to investigate the mutilated body of 11-year-old Frankie Peterson found in the Georgia woods, according to the synopsis. “The mysterious circumstances surrounding this horrifying crime leads Ralph, still grieving the recent death of his own son, to bring in unorthodox private investigator Holly Gibney (Cynthia Erivo), whose uncanny abilities he hopes will help explain the unexplainable.”

The Outsider debuts on Sunday, January 12 at 9:00 p.m. EST, only on HBO.

Back on the lighter side of things, Roy Palmer (Brandon Routh) infringes on Mr. Rogers’ intellectual property rights in the trailer for the fifth season of Legends of Tomorrow, the CW superhero series coming back on January 21.

And then we’re back to darkness with a trailer for the second season of Amazon’s The Boys, about what would happen if superheroes were megalomaniacal psychopaths rather than benevolent protecters of the innocent:

That one is coming sometime in 2020, exactly date to be determined.

Up next, we have a few offerings from Netflix. Here’s the trailer for Lost in Space season 2, which drops on December 24.

The first season was just awful. Boring and awful, I say. I’m more amped for the second season of YOU, a thriller about a bookstore manager who becomes creepily obsessed with a budding writer.

That one hits the day after Christmas.

And finally, RuPaul stars in a new series called AJ and the Queen, about a down-on-her-luck drag queen traveling on a cross-country tour with a young stowaway. The trailer has plenty of appearances from queens who’ve appeared on RuPaul’s Drag Race:

AJ and The Queen hits Netflix on January 10. Take that, Disney+!
