Could the NEW Rangers be wearing these familiar outfits?

Rumours continue to circulate Lionsgate Power Rangers movie as new reports of changes to the film and character names are revealed.

Sources at Collider report that the film is going through a few changes while the cast is still being recruited; which includes the movie being retitled as ‘Saban’s Power Rangers’ as series co-creator and business magnate Haim Saban looks to attach his name to the picture.

New character names have also been attached to Saban’s Power Rangers, confirming that the film won’t be a reboot as initially thought. This revelation is in line with a previous report that the film would take place within the continuity established by the long running TV show. It is also worth noting that the list below includes the Zords, big robotic machines that fans of the Mighty Morphin’ series will be familair with have been assigned to the new team of Power Rangers.

Callum Oliver – The Red Ranger / Tyrannosaurus

Priya Patel – The Pink Ranger / Pterodactyl

Brian Olson – The Blue Ranger / Triceratops

Oscar Fernandez – The Black Ranger / Mastodon

Teyana Jones – The Yellow Ranger – Sabretooth Tiger

Although not a reboot, the list does suggest that the film will rely heavily on the 90’s nostalgia of the Mighty Morphin’ series as it is the most identifiable when someone thinks about the Power Rangers and the dinosaur theme of the first series. It is also interesting to point out that the Red Ranger Callum Oliver has the same surname as fan favourite Tommy Oliver (Jason David Frank), the original Green and White Ranger. Given the popularity of that character it can’t be merely a coincidence. COuld the new Red Ranger be his son?
