New Power Rangers Reboot In The Works!

[CyberpunkCentral]

While many die-hard fans were happy with the new Power Rangers movie and their modern take on the Mighty Morphin' team, new parent company Hasbro has apparently decided to move on in a different direction. With a disappointing box office and a mixed reception from the general audience, it seems like they've now stopped their plans for a sequel.

According to star Dacre Montgomery, who played the Red Ranger Jason in the film from 2017, Hasbro has plans for another film that won't involve him or any of his castmates, effectively making it yet another reboot for the franchise.

Montgomery participated in an Ask Me Anything thread on the Stranger Things subreddit in celebration of the release of Season 3 on Netflix. When asked whether there were plans for more Power Rangers movies, he offered a surprisingly candid response.

"I think there is a movie in the works but it's not with me and the cast. So yes but not with us," Montgomery wrote on Twitter.

So far Hasbro has yet to make any formal announcements about future films set in the Power Rangers universe. So, of course, until it's set and stone, these plans could change. But with an estimated $100 million budget and just a $142 million box office haul, a sequel seems unlikely.

Meh. The 2017 reboot was surprisingly solid, with interesting characters and one of the most gloriously camp performances I've seen in recent years. It deserves a sequel.

Yeah, I thought it was decent. This means we won't see Naomi Scott in the reboot.

I would rather see a beatleborgs movie

I'm optimistic but really disappointed that the cast won't be returning. I loved the 2017 film.

Same

Dang, I actually liked the 2017 one and would've preferred a sequel to that. They could have made it a soft reboot and used the same cast.

[Creed]

****! The 2017 version is underrated.

[ArrestedDevelopment]

Hasbro... you ****ing retards

Studios are so out of touch with reality.

Super lame.... The 2017 movie worked so well, especially with the cast. Dacre is more known now with Stranger Things, and Naomi Scott has a big hit with Aladdin. There is star power here... with a sequel, you can go balls deep in Ranger action and adventure since 2017 film took care of developing characters and story set up.

Hasbro is making a mistake abandoning a good thing.

I was hoping the 2017 movie would get a sequel to introduce the Green Ranger.

[Dragon Ranger]

Hasbro has done a great job with the franchise so far but this is disappointing news. The 2017 movie was excellent and the cast were all great.

Still a new movie could at least leave Mighty Morphin behind and either adapt a different season or create a new team of Rangers entirely.

Only watched the 2017 film recently but I really liked it, agree with all of you saying it’s a shame they don’t continue with that cast.

[Himmel]

Def need to have Lord Zedd, and Rita in this.

[imsounoriginal]

Never saw the most recent one but I heard it was OK and didn't it make money? Weird that they'd reboot, especially with Naomi Scott's star on the rise (unless she and Banks are just prohibitively expensive now, which I find hard to believe, or they're trying to distance themselves from Banks/Scott re-teaming for Charlie's Angels, which is also kinda dumb).

"I think there is a movie in the works but it's not with me and the cast. So yes but not with us," Montgomery wrote on Twitter.

An actor says, “I think”, and that’s enough for a confirmation?

[rocklobster]

Terrible move, if it indeed ends up happening as described.

I echo the same sentiments in this thread, the 2017 movie was surprisingly solid. A very fun film that did a tremendous job setting up a sequel.

Most likely not going to happen. The General Audience only knows Mighty Morphin and doesn't care about other seasons. I'd love for it to happen, but I'm not seeing it. MMPR sells.

The 2017 one is awesome

Love this sequence/score

Writing could have definitely used some improvement but the cast was superb. Dacre and Naomi blew up so Hasbro just don't want to pay for them.
