Looks like Power Rangers may be headed back to theaters once again!

During a financial call to discuss future projects, Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner revealed that Hasbro was currently in discussion with longtime studio partner Paramount Pictures to prepare the next Power Rangers movie.

What relation any new project might have to the 2017 cinematic release by Lionsgate is anyone’s guess. But at the moment, no further details about the future of Power Rangers on the silver screen have been announced.

Hasbro recently held it’s latest Investor’s Report and of course a big focus going forward will be their recently acquired Power Rangers brand. As stated by CEO Brian Goldner:

Hasbro’s licensing plans for Power Rangers will resemble the playbook used for Transformers and My Little Pony, featuring a “very robust” line of products “coming from a number of different partners,”

Of specific note to the Power Rangers brand though, is this line in the report:

Power Rangers’ will generate an operating profit similar to Hasbro’s other franchise brands and has a “significant opportunity for growth given where the brand had been most recently,” Goldner said. Hasbro will work with a film studio to develop a new Power Rangers movie as a follow-up to the 2017 release.

Now, this certainly seems to be worded to imply that an actual sequel to the 2017 film is in the works. While that certainly could be the case as a kind “soft reboot” Brian Goldner’s statement is just vague enough to imply it could be a film that is a follow up in franchise terms rather than a narrative one. What are your thoughts on this matter? Could we actually be seeing a direct sequel with the same designs and cast? What would that mean for the distribution rights held by Lionsgate and other parties from the last film? We’ll be keeping tabs on this as it develops, and we’ll be sure to keep you up to date as it does!

In today’s Hasbro Strategic Decisions Conference, CEO of Hasbro Inc., Brian Goldner, spoke to the audience regarding the acquisition of the Power Rangers master toy license as well as the impending acquisition of the brand as a whole. Brian’s statement is quoted below:

“As I mentioned, we’ve now announced the acquisition of Power Rangers. This is really a great statement about where we believe we are in develping our brand blueprint. The fact that we can acquire Power Rangers brand and plug and play that right into our strategy where we activate it in entertainment, motion pictures in the future and then of course across toys and games and consumer products and do so globally. We felt the brand was very under leveraged and undervalued. We feel we can exploit it to a much greater extent and it was a great opportunity to acquire the brand.” – Brian Goldner, Hasbro Inc. CEO

This revelation will obviously come as great news for fans of the Power Rangers franchise who, last year, enjoyed their first major motion picture in 20 years. As many are well aware, the Power Rangers movie released at higher than expected numbers domestically, but overall failed to capture any audience globally, limping its way in to $142 million worldwide.

Stay tuned for more information as the Hasbro acquisition of Power Rangers continues!

Shout! Factory is set to re-release the entirety of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers’ 3 season run on a DVD Steelbook in honor of the series 25th anniversary. However, the big surprise and draw of this re-release is that it will also included Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie on Blu-Ray for the first time ever! Fans have eagerly waited for Shout! to have the rights to release the original film and in Blu-Ray form, so this should be welcome news to many.

This massive 25th Anniversary Blu-Ray set will retail for $199.99, available August 7th 2018! Here’s hoping that at some point MMPR The Movie can be released individually as well. Purchasing the set from Shout! Factory’s website will also score you an exclusive 18X24″ lithograph by Paul Shipper. Pre order the set HERE.

We’re reporting on this bit because of the fact that Lionsgate was the movie studio behind the Power Rangers Movie. Hasbro had been in negotiations with Lionsgate for a formal takeover, giving the toy company its first real movie studio under its belt. Hasbro has been attempting for years to go from “toy maker” to “entertainment producer”, such as the failed Hasbro channel via Discovery Channel known as “The Hub” some years prior.

Could this have been a roadblock from green-lighting a Power Rangers Movie sequel? We may never know but it certainly doesn’t hurt that a major competitor to Saban Brands and Bandai America, Hasbro, failed to acquire the studio that has the rights to the Power Rangers Movie.

Thanks to the Hollywood Reporter for the news and for our sister site TFW2005 for the heads up.

Ahead of the Lionsgate Power Rangers movie premiering in China on May 12th, a series of new posters have been released specifically catered to that market.  In place of the Zords, each of the Rangers is represented by animals of Chinese mythology(and a possible reference to the Thunder Zords) and those animals are as follows:

Red -Dragon

Blue-Qillin 

Black-Tortoise

Yellow-Tiger

Pink-Phoenix

In addition to this, Chinese Pop singer Dimash Kudaibergen will be performing a remix of the Power Rangers theme, you can have a listen to that track here:

You might be asking just how important the Chinese premier is to the success of the Power Rangers movie? The live-action Warcraft movie which came out last year only made $160 million domestically, but the Chinese market prevented it from being a total flop bringing in $220 million in that region. So while the Power Rangers movie may have had lackluster sales domestically, the film could make it’s money back with the Chinese premiere.
