2017’s Power Rangers reboot definitely didn’t do the big business that Saban and Lionsgate were hoping for, so plans for a multi-movie franchise appeared to die a quiet death. However, now that Hasbro’s snapped up the brand and revealed that they’re interested in making more films, fans are once again intrigued by the possibilities of a sequel.
It didn’t get everything right, but surprisingly, what Power Rangers did excel at was the characterizations of its central teenage cast, with each of them dealing with their own hang-ups and troubles outside of their colorful suits. Blue Ranger Billy was one of the highlights of the film and, while speaking to TV Insider, Rj Cyler discussed what he’d like to see in a potential Power Rangers 2. For him, he’d like more exploration of the Rangers’ everyday lives, including more of Red Ranger Jason’s family...

Power Rangers fans got some good news recently when it was reported that a sequel to the flawed, if underrated, cinematic reboot of the Mighty Morphin heroes was in the works. Though it was once thought dead, Hasbro – who hoovered up the franchise from Saban earlier this year – is said to be interested in making the most out of what could be a very lucrative film series, if handled correctly.
But what’s the official word on Power Rangers 2? Well, the company’s now responded to the rumors with a statement that, despite denying any plans are currently in the works, makes clear that they’re interested in mining the franchise’s “tremendous potential” in the near future.
“We see tremendous potential for the Power Rangers franchise around our entire brand blueprint, including feature films. We have nothing specific to announce at this time, but please stay tuned for...

2017’s Power Rangers reboot was not the blockbuster Saban was hoping for. Once upon a time, they had plans for multiple movies to follow it, but the studio issued a radio silence on the potential of the franchise after the film was met with middling reviews and a disappointing box office gross. Nonetheless, fans have been hoping for a sequel to materialize at some point, especially as Hasbro recently bought the brand from Saban.
Now, it looks like they’ve got their wish, as in a statement from CEO Brian Goldner, it’s been revealed that the company is currently in the process of looking for “a film studio to develop a new Power Rangers movie as a follow-up to the 2017 release.” Presumably, this means Lionsgate is out for the sequel, and given Hasbro’s current relationship with Paramount, we imagine they might be a likely candidate to take over.
