Playing The RED RANGER Would Be A Dream Come True For Robbie Amell
With a Power Rangers reboot just around the corner, more than a few up-and-coming actors, The Flash star Robbie Amell included, have expressed interest in joining the Lionsgate film.
Late last night, Robbie Amell, who already plays the badass Firestorm in the hit CW series The Flash, expressed interest in playing one of most iconic superheroes of the past two decades, the Red Mighty Morphin Power Ranger!
The upcoming Power Rangers reboot, which is due out July 22, 2016, has flown under the radar for the most part, possibly due to the high volume of heavyweight CBMs also releasing in the 2016 calendar year. However, with rumors that the new MMPR film will shoot sometime this year, it shouldn't be too long before we start to hear casting news. So, nice time for a segue, would Robbie Amell, who describes playing the Red Ranger as a childhood dream, be a good fit for the film? Although he is slightly older than a teenager at 26, he certainly has the acting chops and also shares a similar look with the original Red Ranger Austin St. John, who portrayed arguably the greatest Power Ranger ever, Jason Lee Scott.
Check out the bit of fan art, that Amell tweeted out, below and don't forget to sound off with your thoughts in the usual spot! Also, feel free to check out this old FAN CAST done by a young CBM editor.
