It’s been nearly three years since the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers last hit the big screen in a movie that, honestly, was pretty solid as far as Power Rangers movies are concerned. And though that film was originally envisioned as the beginning of a six-film arc, it seems we’ll never see such an epic tale of the teenagers who put on colored costumes to drive their dinosaurs into becoming the limbs of a robot man.
According to Variety, now the franchise rights have been sold off to Paramount, and the studio is going to reboot Power Rangers yet again. Jonathan Entwistle, a directed and executive producer on the very good Channel 4/Netflix series The End of the F***ing World, is said to be “developing” the series, whatever that exactly means. Patrick Burleigh, whose only feature credit is the upcoming Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway is the one actually handling the script.
It’s unclear whether Burleigh would have been too mature for Power Rangers as a kid, because he actually hit puberty at the age of two. Seriously. Though that story is already probably more interesting than another Power Rangers will be.
