Ready for another attempt at bringing the Power Rangers to big-screen life? Tough, for one is on the way regardless!

Courtesy of Variety, The End of the F***king World’s Jonathan Entwistle has been hired to direct a new Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie for Paramount. Peter Rabbit 2’s Patrick Burleigh is on writing duties for the do-over.

The last two we see the Power Rangers on the silver screen was in 2017, of course, although that film was so-so at best. Failing to do enough to appeal to original franchise fans, while simultaneously struggling to pull in a new audience, that Dean Israelite-helmed Power Rangers ultimately served as a disappointment.

Now, Paramount have control of the property’s movie rights, having picked up said rights from Lionsgate. Interestingly, Hasbro now has control of the main Power Rangers name and franchise – meaning that technically this new Power Rangers could exist within the same shared realm as Paramount and Habsro’s other titles, such as Transformers, G.I. Joe, Micronauts and ROM.

As ever, expect more on this new Power Rangers as it continues to develop.
