GO GO POWER RANGERS
I can’t count of the number of mornings I spent as a kid yelling that while dancing around in Power Ranger poses, singing along to the chorus of the theme song.

Seeing as how capitalising off our childhood is the new way to make money in Hollywood, naturally, Saban Entertainment, the distributor of Power Rangers content, grabbed the opportunity to make a live-action movie in 2017.

In August last year, Hasbro announced that a sequel was in the early stages of development.

Dacre Montgomery, who played the Red Ranger in the 2017 movie, has recently revealed that neither he nor the rest of the cast including Naomi Scott, RJ Cyler, Becky G, and Ludi Lin is involved with this so-called “sequel”.
“I think there is a movie in the works but it’s not with me and the cast,” he said.
So this might suggest that the upcoming film is not a sequel, but a reboot.

But we do hope they get it right this time, eh?
What about you?
Do you prefer a clean reboot with a fresh cast, or did you like the 2017 cast and want them to stay on?
Here’s what NCMPs are, and what to expect after GE2025:
