The live-action Mulan movie premieres on Disney Plus for a fee in some countries, but what about the UK? The answer remains a bit of a mystery, even though it's just over two weeks away from the film's September 4 release on the US version of the streaming service. As cinemas reopen in the UK ahead of the release of Tenet next week, you can now book advance tickets for Christopher Nolan's new movie and movies like The New Mutants on Odeon's website. However, you cannot book Mulan tickets. We also couldn't find a Mulan listing page on the website for Cineworld, another major UK movie chain. When the Odeon Help Twitter page was asked about Mulan on August 13, the response read, "I'm afraid nothing has been confirmed about Mulan yet." It's also noteworthy that while Disney Plus in the US promoted the release of Mulan on the streamer, the UK Twitter thread did not. It's also curious that while you can now pre-order Mulan in the US from the streaming service, via the listing page below, there's still no UK equivalent.

Mulan on Disney Plus UK: what do we know so far?
The answer is: nothing specific. It happened very fast. On August 4, Disney's Bob Chapek confirmed the decision to release Mulan on Disney Plus for an additional €29.99 (with regional variations of that price), along with a theatrical release. While he was specific about certain territories receiving the film, he was not specific about the UK or European countries in general. “Today we are announcing that in most Disney+ markets, including the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and several Western European countries, we will offer Disney+ subscribers Mulan's epic adventure on Disney+ based on Premier access. since September 4. The price will be €29,99 in the US and will vary slightly in other countries. This is from Disney's own transcript of the earnings call where it was announced. Earlier that week, we reached out to Disney Plus for official comment on a possible UK release. The response brought us back to Chapek's comments. and to the fact that there were no further details on this point beyond the Western European comment.A BBC report around the same time, however, mentioned that the UK Film Association understood that a similar release was happening here. in the US, a move he called "disappointing. At the moment, Disney UK doesn't appear to have made its plans on this topic public. Mulan isn't even mentioned in the movies section of the UK's Disney website. UK, while future movies like Black Widow and Soul are, we've reached out to Disney Plus UK again to see if there's any new information on Mulan's UK release, and we'll update this page if we know more.
What could happen next?
Disney Plus UK is slower than the US in some ways, so we still can't see Pixar's Onward here, and Frozen 2 released later here than there, but this one is a mystery. Either way, time is running out until this US release, in which case we hope a decision is made on how people can take advantage of Mulan in the UK. In Britain, cinemas are reopening and the industry is gradually recovering. The biggest movie of the past week was a 200,000th anniversary reissue of Inception, which grossed over €4 last weekend. Disney also has another movie coming out on September XNUMX: the aforementioned The New Mutants, for which, unlike Mulan, you can book tickets on the Odeon website.
