Love him or hate him, Jason David Frank continues to be a mover and a shaker when it comes to the world of Power Rangers. Announced today via his Instagram account, the actor who played Tommy Oliver the Mighty Morphin Green and White Rangers, Red Zeo Ranger, Red Turbo Ranger, and Black Dino Thunder Ranger, will be appearing at this year’s San Diego Comic Con courtesy of Saban Brands (the property owners of Power Rangers) and Lionsgate (the studio announced to be behind the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie reboot/remake).
This will undoubtedly begin a wave of speculation – is he appearing simply to promote the brand? Is he appearing because he might actually land a role in the new movie? Saban Brands, along with Bandai of America, have made no mistake that they consider him the greatest Power Ranger of all time – he’s popular, his toys sell like hot cakes, and he remains one of the most fan-demanded characters in every Power Rangers series.
Join in our discussion on the speculation of Jason David Frank and his role, if any, in the new Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie. It’s sure to be a wild ride in the discussion forum.
So.
JDF posted on his Instagram that he will be appearing at SDCC 2014 in a partnership with Saban Brands (Power Rangers owners) and Lionsgate (studio in charge of the MMPR Reboot movie).
Thoughts?
Oh I have thoughts, just none of them are good. But you can't really be surprised at this. He's their cashcow, of course their going to parade him out there.
I think we should wait and see what happens. If a majority of us don't like the result, we shall have a JDF witch hunt.
Fuck me. Ugh.
I really hope he's just there to promote the last episode of Super Megaforce.
well I thought I was going to be in the minority until i read the replies. Don't get me wrong I love JDF and what he has done for Power Rangers, but I feel that any involvement with the film out side of promotion will ruin any chance it has of being a true reboot. I'm going to hold my judgment until some more info from the panel come out.
Hopefully there's not much to this and there's no connection that involves JDF with the film.
If it does though then nothing could kill my hype faster then JDF being in it.
I hope he's in the new movie. It'd make it even MORE awesome when I go see it!
Tommy rocks. I hope he is in the movie. I hope he becomes a Dino Charge Ranger. Tommy is the best Ranger of all time and all ways will be.
As long as he doesn't have a starring or acting role in the film, I could care less. Even then I'd much appreciate him staying far away from any sort of reboot of the series if they plan on rebooting MMPR. He's an actor who while I can appreciate what he's done for the franchise, I have no wish to ever see again in any new productions.
They should just give him his own solo movie while they're working on the reboot so they don't have to get super pestered about changing shit in the reboot.
