"I think, definitely with this business, it was part luck, part timing, and maybe some destiny," Wen told /Film in a Zoom interview ahead of the first-ever release of the animated Mulan on 4K UHD. "I think we're all destined for something."Īnd it seems that Wen was destined to appear in Mulan, both as the star in the 1998 animated classic, and in a buzzy cameo at the end of Niki Caro's 2020 live-action Mulan, in which she was "passing the baton" to the new Mulan, played by Liu Yifei. Nor could she anticipate that she would become one of the faces of the expanding Asian roles in Hollywood, with a career marked by firsts: first Asian actor cast in a regular role in a soap opera, first all-Asian-led cast in a major Hollywood film in The Joy Luck Club, first Asian Disney Princess. When Ming-Na Wen first stepped into the recording booth in 1995, she couldn't anticipate the legacy that Mulan would leave - becoming one of the most beloved Disney animated movies, and getting remade into a live-action film more than 20 years later.in which she would make a cameo that made social media explode.
