Stick ranger 2 getting more rangers4/23/2024 ![]() ![]() ![]() What’s fascinating is how much the press release made a clear distinction between this project and the currently airing Power Rangers Beast Morphers. We know very little about this show but Entwistle will direct at least some of the episodes. That movie was in the works with Hasbro and Paramount but Paramount hasn’t been mentioned in any of the recent press releases so it’s unclear if that story is still in play or not. We aren’t sure if the story of the new film will follow the plot originally mentioned in reports back in December of a new team of Ranger time-traveling back to the 90’s. We know for sure that the film will be live-action, Titans writer Bryan Edward Hill has been tapped to write the script, it will be more mature than the TV series and Entwistle will be directing. With Hasbro’s acquisition of Power Rangers and the 2017 Lionsgate/Saban Power Rangers movie’s lack of success, it was inevitable the new movie wouldn’t be a follow up to that film. What do they all mean? How will they relate to each other? What does this mean for the TV series that’s been running for so long with one (mostly) continuing universe? Let’s break it all down because there’s a lot to discuss here. Hasbro is betting big on Power Rangers and looks to be taking the franchise in directions it’s only brushed up against in the past. This is by far the biggest push Power Rangers has ever received to bring it back into the spotlight and reinvent the franchise. Not only that but Entwistle told Insider that what he’s working on is a “reboot universe” and a “whole new world” for the franchise. That’s four major Power Rangers projects that have all been announced or discussed in the past few weeks. ![]() Hasbro has tapped Jonathan Entwistle, known for his work on I Am Not Okay With This and The End of the F***ing World to “shepherd new film and television adaptations of Power Rangers.” Adaptations of Power Rangers that, a press release pointed out, will be “non-kid.” In addition they’re planning an animated Power Rangers and some form of continuation for the “kids-oriented” series whose 28 th season is currently in production.Ī movie. They want Power Rangers to be big, to be its own cinematic universe… but after over twenty-years of attempts can Hasbro reinvent Power Rangers? They didn’t pay half a billion dollars to collect license fees and take up a small section of the toy aisle. However, new franchise owners Hasbro want Power Rangers to be a massive success. Still this isn’t the lowest point in Power Rangers history at all (arguably the rock bottom ratings of Power Rangers RPM.) There have been several successes recently, including the Power Rangers comics and Legacy Wars mobile game. The TV show has mostly stuck to the same formula for the last ten years and has suffered slow erosion in its ratings. The most recent attempt, the 2017 movie, was deemed a disappointment at the box office despite making its budget back and pleasing many fans. Multiple attempts were made to try and bring it back into the spotlight but they all had little success in the grand scheme of things. It fell into the background successive seasons of the TV show were enjoyed by new generations of kids and hardcore fans but never captured the public consciousness again like it had in the ‘90s. However, as the years went on and Power Rangerscontinued on television its fame slowly evaporated. Power Rangers’ place in pop culture was cemented and secured a long future for the franchise. Millions of toys were sold, ratings went through the roof, multiple copycats were created, and a big budget movie was put into production. In the early 1990s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers burst onto the scene and quickly became one of the hottest kids shows on the planet. ![]()
