Alex Graves has been named as the director of Sony’s forthcoming Mulan adaptation, putting an end to rumours that Sony were looking to employ an Asian director.
The choice of Graves, best known for his work on Game of Thrones and The West Wing, has incensed some fans who believed Sony should choose an Asian director.
More than 100,000 people signed a pre-emptive petition against the “whitewashing” of that film.
Disney is also adapting a version of the Mulan story based on their 1998 animation.
