Five teenagers with attitude return to theaters this March after a long hiatus. What’s more exciting is Lionsgate has just released the first Power Rangers 2017 trailer. The trailer only gives us a small glimpse of the Rangers in their suits, but does what it’s supposed to do, and that is tease. The prospect of a proper Power Rangers reboot for a modern audience is very exciting. While it seems that Tommy will be left out of this introductory installment of the series, there’s no way he can be left out of subsequent sequels; the Green Ranger is just that popular. What’s more is that the trailer shows Jason and Kimberly kissing, which could lead to a future love triangle!
All in all, the film looks to be exactly what it needs to: a realistic reboot of a series we all know and love. It will introduce Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to a new generation, in a good way. While the Green Ranger probably doesn’t make an appearance in the film, it’s understandable; this is an introductory chapter. Power Rangers is one of the most beloved series to hit the airwaves in the last 20 years. A proper film adaptation is only fitting. Hopefully it’s successful enough to spawn some sequels!
