This is not a drill; we are finally getting a Power Rangers live-action reboot, and it’s happening on Disney+.
The masterminds behind the show are none other than the showrunners behind the “Percy Jackson” series, Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz.
Now, at first, they were trying to keep things under wraps and gatekeep this wonderful news for themselves. But Movieweb was able to get them to confirm the show and their involvement in it.
However, that is all that is confirmed at this point, with them keeping everything else close to the chest.
Which does leave room for speculation, for there could be two different possibilities. First, it could be a reboot, reintroducing the main characters we know and love, or option two.
Which would be introducing an entire new group of teens that bestow the power of the “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers”.
Keeping the names of the original characters makes more sense than giving them new names.
Unless, of course, they ditch the TV origins and bring to life the amazingly underrated, BOOM comic series.
This would allow them to not only have a “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” multiverse, but would also allow them to be canon to the original show.
Not to mention, it would give them so much more material to work with and appease the fans, both of the original TV show and the newer fans who were introduced through the comics.
To be able to see the shattered grid-beyond-the-grid story arc come to life in live-action would be legendary. They could easily make that story arc into a feature film that got a theatrical release.
Not only paying tribute to the series that inspired “Power Rangers”, “Super Sentai”, but following in their footsteps, completely by having a feature, theatrical film for every conclusion season.
