As for whether it should be a sequel or reboot, while I appreciated 2017’s Power Rangers more than many, I believe a new movie should just be a straight reboot.
Hasbro obviously thought there was potential for Power Rangers to become even bigger than it already is if it was willing to drop more than $500 million on the property.
Churning out toys is Hasbro’s primary function, but with all the movies it has in development, it’s hard to believe that the company wouldn’t want to explore incorporating Power Rangers into its film plans.
With a new creative mind at the helm and potentially more money to work with, a re-telling would stand a better chance at both critical and commercial success rather than if we followed up with the previous incarnation.
