    Untitled Power Rangers Reboot/Sequel

    Sequel in Early Development thanks to Hasbro
    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,” CEO Brian Goldner told analysts.

    Hasbro acquired Power Rangers and other brands from Saban Brands for $522 million earlier this year. Goldner termed 2019 a “transition year” for Power Rangers as Hasbro introduces new products in March and April. The existing inventory of Power Rangers products is expected to be sold through retail by mid-2019 and new entertainment content and licensed products will arrive the following year, he said.

    Many of Saban’s licensees also have developed My Little Pony and Transformers products, so Power Rangers’ shift to new ownership will be “relatively seamless,” Goldner said. Hasbro also has hired “key personnel” from Saban responsible for the Power Rangers brand, with Saban CEO Haim Saban serving as a creative consultant, he said.

    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. In addition to Power Rangers, Hasbro also acquired Saban properties including My Pet Monster, Luna Petunia, Popples and Julius Jr.

    Cautious on this. Hasbro has actually done some good things with TF regarding the toy line. The only thing I really didn't like about the movie was how shitty Goldar and Megazord looked. I would hope the sequel (which would include Tommy/Green Ranger based on ending credit scene) would do more justice to the zords. I didn't expect an epic storyline from the movie to begin with so wasn't AS disappointed as some other people.

    The actor that played the Red Ranger in the last film confirmed in a Reddit AMA that Hasbro is rebooting the film franchise and not bringing back any of the cast from the 2017 film. Kinda shitty because pretty much all of them are much bigger stars now than they were in 2017.

    That's strange, I really enjoyed that one and was hoping they would continue.

    If it's a reboot I don't know if I'll go see it. Depends. I really wanted to see the sequel with the Green Ranger. >.<

    Isn't the whole 80s/90s thing played out by now? Seems they do it for nostalgia grabs but its been done so much lately.

    You got to think of the bigger picture here. By doing this, they can bring back the original toys and resell them in different packaging.
