Fans of the original version will be excited to know that the original Zords will be featured plus the old costumes will make an appearance at some point within the movie. The casting news had kept consistent with early reports of the cast being relatively unknown. The news about the budget fits what has been happening with the movie so far. Reportedly this will be a low budget film with a $35 million base.

These are some interesting developments to say the least. It’s hard to gauge the pulse of the nation when it comes to the excitement or anticipation of this film, but I am curious to say the least. As someone who was brought up watching Power Rangers from 1992 up until they killed Zordon in 1999 with the ending of Power Rangers in Space. I hope that there is some sort of connection between the original movie and this one. I would like to see the many uniforms (suites/costumes) displayed across the command center kind of like the Batcave or Iron Man's lab.

Bellow are the new names for the characters matched up with their early description:I mixed in the updated names.

Oscar Fernandez – The Black Ranger/Mastodon

17 years old, always the life of the party. Filled with bravado and swagger, Oscar’s tough and cool on the exterior. A charming guy who’s never had trouble with the one-liner, nor lacked confidence around women. A great athlete that’s never wanted to play on any team but his own. Oscar advertises everything about himself, except the truth, which is that he lives in a trailer park with his single mom, and because of it, feels deeply inferior to all his peers. Ludi Lin

Priya Patel – The Pink Ranger/Pterodactyl

17 years old, unconventionally cool all in a way the popular girls wish they were. In fact, she was one of those girls, but isn’t anymore. Not since she’s returned to school after an absence of 6 months. Rumors are flying as to why; rumors she seems not to care about, because she’s come back with this new rebel-without-a-cause, edgy attitude. But the truth is, it’s all masking a deep secret that makes her feel profoundly vulnerable. Naomi Scott

Brian Olson – The Blue Ranger/Triceratops

17 years old, slight and awkward. Brian is challenged in his abilities to communicate and interact socially. Whip-smart and sweet, but always odd. Sometimes in a fun way, sometimes not, Brian is a kid with no filter. Showing his emotions, understanding sarcasm, and dealing with his OCD is a constant challenge. Has never really had any friends and instantly gravitates towards Callum. RJ Cyler

Teyana Jones – The Yellow Ranger/Sabre-tooth Tiger

17 years old, mysterious and extremely bright. Her parents constantly move for work, making Teyana the perpetual new girl to any school. A loner who owns it, Teyana is self-sufficient, contemplative, but always observant. All she wants is to find her gang of friends, but she’ll never admit it – least of all to herself.

Callum Oliver – The Red Ranger/Tyrannosaurus

17 years old, the makings of someone or something great if he would just get out of his own way. Callum was a legend of this town—a freshman quarterback with the skills to take him all the way. People knew his name. Children wore his jersey. Until, one night Callum wrapped his car around a pole and busted out his knee. Everything Callum was going to become ended in an instant. And with it, he lost himself. When we meet him at the start of the film, he’s a kid in need of redemption. By the end, he’ll be leading this disparate group of teens to shed their individual baggage and find who they truly are. Dacre Montgomery

The cast of creators gives me confidence with Dean Israelite directing, Allison Shearmur as producer, and Ashley Miller as lead writer. These new changes could be a disaster or it could be refreshing. I still have more questions than answers. Will the brains behind the Rangers pay homage to the old Rangers? Most importantly, where is the Green Ranger?
