Hey youtube im Court McGinley and welcome back to the most amazing top 5.
Before we get started I want to know- whats your favorite Disney film?

of this movie was absolutely amazing.

Also I just want to remind you to please subscribe to this channel if you havnt already and make

Alright lets get started on our list of the top 5 upcoming Disney Live action Movies.
Starting off at our number 5 spot--Maleficent 2-With Maleficent being a crowd favorite and
killing it in the box office its no wonder they decided to make a second film.
The film staring Angelina Jolie came out in 2014.
It tells the tale of a vengeful fairy that’s driven to curse an infant princess.- only
to later discover that the child may be the one person who can restore peace to their
troubled land.
As soon as Jolie was locked in for the second movie the making of the second film was announced-
and this actually happened all the way back in 2015.
Originally the film was expected to be coming out this year but I can see it being bumped
back to 2019.
It was also just announced that the filming for this movie will start the spring of this
year.
So yeah definitely not going to be realised in 2018.
But its amazing that Jolie will be reprising her role and hopefully Elle fanning will be
returning as Princes Aurora.
In at number 4--Mulan- The live action remake of Mulan was suppose to hit theaters this
year- on November 2nd – which is 20 years after its first release.
But now its been reportedly bumped back to 2019.
Honestly this is a movie that’s going to take a lot to make.
They have some high expectations to meet.
Its going to be extremely action packed- and its based off of a beloved movie. ..so yeah
its going to take some time.
So far not much has been shared about the making of this movie.
However we do know that Chinese actor Liu Yifei- Lee ew Ye-fa- also known as Crystal
Liu was cast to play Mulan.
The casting directors were looking for someone with credible martial arts skills and the
ability to speak English.
Mulan is hands down one of the best Disney female heroines- I mean she saved all of China..common
that’s pretty impressive.
She got down to business and defeated the Huns.
The original movie was based on the Chinese legend- some people are worried that Disney
will white-wash the movie but the company assures that’s not the case- and that all
primary roles will be filled with Chinese actors.
At number 3--Cruella-This film is currently in preproduction.
But there are rumours swirling that Emma stone has been cast to play Cruella de Vil and if
that’s true that’s amazing.
Apparently the studio confirmed this casting news back in 2016.
so I guess we will have to wait and see if this is in fact true.
This is going to be a live-action feature film following the evil exploits of Cruella.
Aka the villain from disneys 101 Dalmatians.
Cruella is very animated and pretty crazy so its going to be interesting to see where
Stone can take this role.
The is the second live action remake surrounding 101 Dalmatians- although this film is will
be portrayed through Cruellas eyes.
Maybe we will see why she thinks its ok to skin all the poor innocent little Dalmatians.
The films expected to come out sometime in the next 2 years.
Coming in at number 2--Aladdin-This live action re-make is set to be released in 2019.
May 24th 2019 to be more exact.
This film is the most pieced together so far.
We have Mena Massoud playing Aladdin and Naomi Scott playing princess Jasmine.
And Will Smith landed the role of the Genie.
Back in October of 2016 it was announced that Guy Ritchie would direct the film with John
August penning the screenplay for Walt Disney.
A crazy fact about this movie is that over 2 thousand actors and actresses auditioned
over a 4 month time span for the roles of Aladdin and Jasmine.
Aladdin is in my top 3 for favorite Disney movies so im super excited for this film.
And at number 1--The Lion King- This upcoming epic musical drama film is set to hit the
big screen in 2019.
This film already has an A-list cast assigned to it we have Donald Glover as Simba- Beyonce
as Nala- Seth Rogan as Pumba and James Earl Jones will be returning as Mufasa.
Jeff Nathanson has been hired to write the screenplay for the remake.
Now this remake seeing as it focuses on Animals- the cast will end up something like the jungle
book live action movie.
So yeah the visual effects in this movie are going to be insane.
And there you have it.
Thank you all so much for watching that’s our list of the top 5 upcoming Disney live
action movies.
