2024 was an enormous 12 months for the Energy Rangers franchise for a number of causes, however essentially the most destructive one was how for the primary time since 1993, no TV present was aired (that is counting the “re-version” of Mighty Morphin’ Energy Rangers that was broadcast in 2010 and labeled as Season 18). Including insult to damage, it was reported in June that the Energy Rangers reboot sequence being developed at Netflix was scrapped, which in flip killed the broader shared universe plans that’d been within the works since 2020.
Nevertheless, it was additionally talked about on the time that Hasbro Leisure was “exploring a brand new inventive path for the sequence.” Half a 12 months later, not solely has a brand new rumor surfaced concerning how the franchise is about to return in an enormous means, we can also know the place will probably be arrange following the collapse of the Netflix plans.
What The Subsequent Energy Rangers Initiatives Are Rumored To Be
In line with scooper Daniel Richtman (through ComicBookMovie), a brand new live-action film and an animated TV present are being developed for the Energy Rangers franchise. No extra particulars had been offered on this preliminary report, however in their very own data dump, Tremendous-Jin talked about that the brand new film could have nothing to do with the ‘90s-set reboot that Jonathan Entwistle had been placing collectively at Netflix. It was additionally said that the film shall be a theatrical launch, though given how the 2017 Energy Rangers film ended up critically and commercially underperforming, these placing collectively the subsequent function shall be “cautious” about selecting the discharge date (which can find yourself being in late 2026) earlier than making the official announcement.
This film and TV present will surely do the trick with bringing again these morphenomenal superheroes again to the forefront. I might be particularly excited to see the latter, as there’s by no means been an animated sequence within the Energy Rangers franchise earlier than, and I feel it could lend itself nicely to an anime-style. As for the film, my important hope is it has higher luck than the 2017 reboot did, as that was additionally meant to revitalize the model, however culminated in Saban promoting the Rangers to Hasbro.
The place The Energy Ranges Franchise Is Allegedly Being Set Up Subsequent
So now that Netflix is now not within the Energy Rangers enterprise, the place would this film and TV present be arrange? Tremendous-Jin additionally talked about in his X publish that Paramount and Skydance in last negotiations to acquire the Energy Rangers media rights from Hasbro. Ryan Unicomb added in his affirmation of this data that it “sounds prefer it’s a full buyout of the IP from Hasbro, with Skydance conserving its standing proportion & Paramount turning into the principle proprietor.”
If that is correct, then which means Paramount Photos can be releasing this new film in theaters, and I sincerely hope that the power-that-be do persist with the theatrical plan fairly than make it a streaming unique. Which brings me to the animated TV present: if Paramount and Skydance will get its palms on Energy Rangers, then it stands to motive that this small display venture would change into streamable with a Paramount+ subscription. I might additionally hope that the older TV exhibits would additionally change into obtainable on that service. Presently most of mentioned exhibits could be discovered on Tube, although more moderen fare like Energy Rangers Dino Fury, Energy Rangers Cosmic Fury and the twentieth anniversary particular Mighty Morphin’ Energy Rangers: As soon as & At all times are nonetheless solely accessible with a Netflix subscription.
Relaxation assured, CinemaBlend will move alongside any official announcement concerning what’s subsequent for Energy Rangers when it is available in. But when any of the above finally ends up coming true, I’m hopeful that the franchise will expertise an enormous resurgence within the latter half of the 2020s.
