Brace Yourself, There Could Be SEVEN Power Rangers Movies

Bear in mind they couldn’t get one Power Rangers movie right it seems premature to be talking about a seven movie franchise behemoth squatting over cinemas like a recently enlarged Goldar but, if Marvel and Star Wars can plan movies into the next decade, so too can the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers.

Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer may be a little over-enthusiastic with his crystal ball predictions for how many movies they’ll make. In a conference call with analysts today, the CEO said

“We are really, really excited about the ‘Power Rangers’ movie. We could see doing five or six or seven.”

Seven! 

Maybe we’re being a little judgemental but just looking at the recently released images of both the Power Ranger (who look like a cross between the cast of Mass Effect and the recently rebooted Robocop) and Elizabeth Banks as villainess Rita Repulsa, (who...well, just look below) it’s clear that the new film will be utterly ridiculous. And that level of camp seems hard to maintain over seven movies, let alone one.

Now, it’s clear that Feltheimer is clearly attempting to sell an asset to analysts who’ll be eager to learn of its multi-film potential but without seeing a single frame of footage, it seems very premature to be talking of a Power Rangers cinematic universe. It’s not as if the original series was a ground breaking classic either but there’s still high expectations from children of the 90’s who want to see someone do something innovative with the property. 

Power Rangers stars Becky G as the Yellow Ranger, Ludi Lin as the Black Ranger, Naomi Scott as the Pink Ranger, Dacre Montgomery as the Red Ranger and RJ Cyler as the Blue Ranger. 

Project Almanac helmer Dean Israelite is directing Powers Rangers with a script from X-Men: First Class writers Ashley Miller & Zack Stentz, Need for Speed and Real Steel scribe John Gatins, and The Last Witch Hunter and Gods of Egypt writers Matt Sazama & Burk Sharpless.

Power Rangers is slated to hit theaters on March 24, 2017.
