Frank portrayed Oliver and The Green Ranger as recently as 2015’s Power Rangers Super Megaforce: The Legendary Battle.
The Tommy character is mentioned in the Power Rangers mid-credits scene, igniting speculation about the involvement of a new Green Ranger in future Power Rangers sequels.
Two subtle throwbacks to the original Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers series happen in the movie with cameos by Amy Jo Johnson, who played the original Pink Ranger, and Jason David Frank, who has played Tommy Oliver/The Green Ranger in over a dozen Power Rangers productions since 1993.
Lionsgate will have to hope that potential future storylines involving the Green Ranger will hold fans’ interest and improve upon the Power Rangers reboot’s performance with both critics and moviegoers.
