Mira Nair (Queen of Katwe)
While she hasn’t done much in the way of action I have little doubt that director Mira Nair could tackle it if asked to. Her style is highly emotive, immersive and colorful and she would bring the Mulan’s world to life with a single frame if asked. She’s already proven to be able to direct an inspirational tale with a strong female lead and has ties to the Disney machine already. Marvel has always taken chances on indie directors who have primarily done character drive work in the past with little to no action under the name. Nair is a highly respected and remarkably skilled director who has more than earned her shot at such a big budget film.
