I thought I'd start a thread about future Lionsgate Power Ranger films. We could discuss theories and speculations about the next five films lined up for the franchise. Below are my theories and speculations for the new films; as well as hopeful additions/changes:
For the second film: Tommy will be the main antagonist obviously. I do hope this movie is inspired by Ferris Bueller, The Dark Knight, and The Empire Strikes Back. In order for the other films to be made this film has high expectations not to be good, but to be great. I think this new incarnation of Tommy Oliver demands the personality of Ferris Bueller, but in the possession of Rita's corrupt power coin he gains the madness that approaches near Joker levels, but divorced of the clown persona. Probably more Darth Vader in fighting style, and more Joker in terms of causing chaos. Rita probably should make some kind of appearance but not sure if she'll be the force that will bring them together. And of course a tease of Lord Zedd at the end will be likely. I am hoping for a nice design for the dragonzord, and not just a green repaint of the Tyrannosaurs zord. And a cleaner, sleeker design of the zords and suits in general would be a nice touch. For the third film I expect Lord Zedd to be the main antagonist. Possible suit change. Likely appearance of the white ranger. Not sure if the film will go with a Dairanger ascetic or change it up with a possible adaptation of Bioman. Fourth film will likely focus on Ivan Ooze and be a loose adaptation of the first MMPR film and Kakuranger. This time I think they'll go for the Shogun Megazord look. Original team will be all kidnapped, leaving Tommy alone with his white ranger powers too weak to continue. The fifth film will likely be an adaptation of Zeo and Ohranger. The Machine Empire will be the main antagonist looking for the Zeo crystal. Tommy will have to recruit new rangers for the Zeo team and assume leadership as the Red Zeo Ranger. Jason breaks free and discovers the power staff of the gold ranger at the base of the Machine Empire, and returns to earth as the gold ranger, and leads the new team to the whereabouts of the old team. And the final sixth film will likely skip Turbo and focus on In Space. Not sure if they will go with Megaranger designs. If Bioman designs are used for the third film then I bet Megaranger or Dairanger might be used. If not I am thinking this would be a good place to adapt Bioman. The original team will regroup under the Bioman/Megaranger powers and search for Zordon who has been kidnapped by the Patriarch of evil, or the chaos rangers. Secrets will be revealed. Beloved characters will die. And Powerful epic battle of good vs evil. I hope the morphing grid taps into all ranger abilities and allows the team access to every ranger power from Super Sentai to Power Rangers and have an epic Megazord Battle of every main mecha from Battle Fever J to the then current Super Sentai mecha. If they ever do decide to do more films I would like for them to make a prequel film of Zordon's team. I'd like to see how exactly Rita became corrupted. And after watching the UNPopular Culture's live talk about the new Power Rangers film, I would be interested to see if it turns out that Lord Zedd was Zordon's mentor and became corrupted himself and caused Rita to become corrupted as well. I think that would make for a very compelling prequel. |

I agree these ideas are very good pitches for the future movies. As for the 2nd movie if this first one was an adaption of Day of the Dumpster then movie two needs to be Green with Evil totally. My pitch would have Tommy be the lone wolf character who is secluded by the Power of the coin much like the early issues of the Boom comic with Rita talking to him in his mind. I'd have him and Jason but head often in the film. In the end he shakes off Rita's influence when he sees damage he has caused However it's too late and her plan to com back to earth is successful and her new monster is too powerful for the 5 with out the help of Tommy his coin and the DragonZord

What if... Tommy is a dude whose past is fuzzy. But after he gets the green coin and he dukes it out with the rangers he remembers it all.
After they save Angel Grove again together Green ranger powers fizz out and Tommy abruptly leaves and warns the rangers of..... Zedd. Enter movie no.3 Tommy remembers he was the White Ranger and how Zedd took away his powers and wiped his memory. Now he must find his old White coin while Zedd is on the move as well.
