Exciting news for Power Rangers fans: A brand-new movie reboot is reportedly in early development! This comes after Netflix and Hasbro Entertainment scrapped their plans for an interconnected film and TV franchise reboot. According to industry insider Daniel Richtman and scooper @Jinsakuu, the upcoming project will be entirely unconnected to Netflix’s canceled incarnation, signaling a fresh start for the beloved franchise.
The reboot is being spearheaded by Paramount, with negotiations between Hasbro and the studio reportedly making significant progress. Paramount/Skydance is expected to retain the media rights to Power Rangers, with discussions about a possible franchise buyout also on the table. If both parties agree on a deal, the Power Rangers universe could take an even more expansive turn under new leadership.
Rumors suggest that development is moving quickly, with talks of a late 2026 release window already underway. However, the creative direction of the reboot remains under wraps. It’s still unclear whether the movie will be a retelling of the classic Mighty Morphin Power Rangers or a fresh take featuring a new team of heroes.
Netflix previously announced plans for an ambitious Power Rangers reboot in June 2022, led by Daisy Jones & the Six producer Jenny Klein and I Am Not Okay With This co-creator Jonathan Entwistle. This scrapped project aimed for a more mature tone, targeting the franchise’s now-adult audience with interconnected movies and series. While leaks teased the introduction of a brand-new team, the project was ultimately shelved after two years of development.
Fans will have to wait for more details about the new reboot, but with Paramount taking the reins, hopes are high for a fresh, action-packed revival of the iconic franchise. Whether it’s the return of the Mighty Morphin team or an entirely new lineup, one thing is certain: the Power Rangers are gearing up for a morphinominal comeback on the big screen! Stay tuned for updates!
