“Power Rangers” Return In New Film Reboot
New Legion of Teen Warriors suit up for Morphin’ Time
Lionsgate unveils the full official trailer for this year’s Power Rangers movie, its upcoming feature that’s based on Saban Brands’ long-running kids series of the same name — and is designed as the kickoff of a hoped-for new franchise.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers began in 1993, adapted from the Japanese original Super Sentai. This new reboot is the first film since a pair of Power Rangers movies were released in the mid 1990s (see below), Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie and Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie.
The new incarnation serves as an origin story for the super-powered kids from Angel Grove. Played by Naomi Scott, Becky G, Ludi Lin, Dacre Montgomery and R.J. Cyler, they are chosen by destiny to save the planet from an alien threat. But to do so, they’ll have to overcome their real-life issues and band together as the Power Rangers.
Lionsgate is eyeing Power Rangers as the start of a new franchise. In May last year, execs said they hope to do “five, six or seven of them.” 🤔
