OG 'Mulan' Star Ming-Na Wen Called Out Netflix For Not Featuring Asian Leads in Cast List
Netflix came under some pretty big fire this week about Mulan.
After a fan watched the animated flick for the very first time, they noticed that neither Ming-Na Wen, nor BD Wong, were actually featured in the cast list of the title card and homepage.
Then, Ming-Na, who voices the title character, called out the streaming service for omitting their names from it.
“I also believe another AsianAm lead voice should also be on the credit. #bdwong How about all the #Mulan fans out there tweet @netflix about this major oversight? Thanks!” Ming-Na tweeted.
Netflix has since corrected the cast list.
Yeah, that’s EFF-ed up, @netflix!
