Jason Scott Lee says he enjoyed antagonist role in ‘Mulan’

US actor Jason Scott Lee, who is best known for his protagonist roles, has said that he also enjoyed the central antagonist in Disney’s new live-action adaption of the 1998 animated classic Mulan.

Lee, 53 who essays the role of Bori Khan, the leader of opposing warriors, said it’s fun because you can break through a lot of the barriers of having to play the hero.

The Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story actor further said, “For me, Bori Khan's quest was not only to avenge his father, but also to avenge the land that was taken away, and reviving and empowering his own people."

Mulan was premiered on Friday on Disney plus. Earlier, the film was scheduled to hit the screens in March, but it was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The movie is an action thriller produced by Walt Disney Pictures.

Directed by Niki Caro, the film also stars Liu Yifei alongside Donnie Yen, Yoson An, Gong Li, and Jet Li.
