We previously heard that time travel was involved, and that still seems to be the case, and according to the report a new team of Rangers will be transported by Zordon to that beloved era to face Lord Zedd, but those aren't the only details we got.
The report states that the all-new Ranger team will not necessarily be limited to 5 Rangers, and it will include an original lineup of heroes. Hasbro is also looking to create a truly diverse cast, which will include different races and members of the LGBTQ+ community. The report also states that there are plans to cast a female lead.
In the script's current state, Lord Zedd is the villain of the film, and the movie will feature several different looks for the Ranger suits and the Zords from Ranger history.
Sources also revealed to Illuminerdi that the upcoming Power Rangers movie will be taking place in the same continuity of the TV show. This means that the rangers/characters throughout the past 28 years will be in the same continuity as the new movie rangers.
The last bit of news is that the film is potentially shooting in New Zealand, which is where the shows typically film.
That's a lot of new information, and we definitely are intrigued if it turns out to be true. The time travel aspect has been reported from several sources now, so that seems like it will definitely be included. As for the other details, including Zedd, the various Zords and Suits, and the casting, we'll just have to wait and see, but it does all seem credible.
As for the current season, Beast Morphers stars Rorrie D. Travis (Devon/Red), Jacqueline Scislowski (Zoey/Yellow), Jasmeet Baduwalia (Ravi/Blue), Abraham Rodriguez (Nate), Liana Ramirez (Roxy), Colby Strong (Blaze), Cosme Flores (Ben), Kristina Ho (Betty), and Kevin Copeland (Mayor Daniels. You can check out the official description for Power Rangers Beast Morphers below.
"In season 2 of POWER RANGERS BEAST MORPHERS, Evox returns and he’s more powerful than ever! The Power Rangers will gain access to all new power upgrades, powerful new weapons, and epic new Megazords in order to protect the Morphin Grid and save the world!"

UPDATED: NEW POWER RANGERS MOVIE DETAILS – HOW IT TIES INTO THE FUTURE OF THE FRANCHISE – EXCLUSIVE
UPDATE: We have a major update regarding this story. As mentioned in the attached video, our sources have told us that the upcoming Power Rangers movie will be taking place in the same continuity of the TV show. This means that the rangers/characters throughout the past 28 years will be in the same continuity as the new movie rangers.
With our latest breaking news regarding the future of the Power Rangers franchise, fans have started to wonder “Where does PR go from here?”
Today we hope to answer that.
According to our sources, who have once again asked to remain anonymous, it seems that Hasbro will be putting all bets on their live-action Power Rangers movie that is currently in development at Paramount, as well as a further focus on MMPR.
We have some exclusive story details of what the movie will be about and when the movie will take place in the Power Rangers’ timeline.
Now to be clear, what we are reporting is what is in the script in its current state. The script could very well change in time, as the movie is still in pre-production, but what we are reporting on is how it is right now.
THE POWER RANGERS MOVIE IS GOING BACK TO THE PAST!
At some point, the Rangers will be taken back in time to the 1990’s according to THR.
According to our own sources, Hasbro’s new Power Rangers movie will feature an all-new Ranger team, not necessarily just five Rangers, and it will include an original lineup of heroes.
We are being told that Hasbro is looking for a diverse cast for the film, that includes many different racial backgrounds and members of the LGBTQ+ community. They have also told us that Hasbro plans to cast a female lead for this upcoming film.
We’ve also learned that Lord Zedd will be the main villain of the film and Zordon will be involved in the time-traveling element that thrusts the Rangers back in time.
NEW DETAILS FOR THE UPCOMING POWER RANGERS MOVIE
Our sources have told us that the upcoming Power Rangers movie being developed at Paramount Pictures, will feature multiple different looks and Zords throughout Ranger history. This could possibly include a variety of suits and Zords from MMPR, all the way to the modern era. We assume this is Hasbro’s attempt to capitalize on toy sales for the movie.
We are also hearing that Hasbro could potentially be planning to film in New Zealand, which is where the TV show has been filming ever since Power Rangers Ninja Storm.
Another interesting nugget, we learned that aside from the movie, Hasbro will continue to have a major focus on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Which presumably would impact the toys in particular.
We are speculating that Hasbro could be considering an animated adaptation featuring the Rangers from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, but details regarding that are still unclear at this time. Of course a new live-action TV series isn’t completely out of the question as well. However, as of now it won’t be with Toei providing the stock footage.
There currently is no release date for the new Power Rangers movie.
Even though this may seem to be a dark time in Power Rangers’ history, we at The Illuminerdi are confident that there are still good things happening in the franchise. We’re looking forward to what Hasbro has in store in the future. This also doesn’t mean that there can never be another live-action show but as of right now, if there is, it just wouldn’t be in association with The Toei Company. This may seem like the end of an era for our multi-colored spandex heroes but could open doors to a whole new audience and put a spotlight on Power Rangers that it hasn’t seen in ages.
