The whopping failure of the 2017 Power Rangers reboot is still a sore spot for some fans, but let’s be real, it was a hot mess 🤣. Dacre Montgomery, the actor who played Red Ranger Jason Scott, recently spilled the tea that the cast had signed on for at least four Power Rangers movies 🎥. Yeah, because that was definitely going to happen 🙄. I mean, who wouldn’t want to watch a bunch of teenagers in silly costumes fighting monsters for hours on end? 🤷♂️ It’s not like the movie was a huge flop or anything… oh wait, it was 😂.
Montgomery revealed that the film was supposed to be the start of a big franchise, with a four-picture deal with Lionsgate, similar to The Hunger Games 📚. But, spoiler alert, it didn’t quite work out that way 🤦♂️. The movie tanked at the box office, losing the studio a whopping $74 million 🤑. I guess that’s what happens when you try to revive a cheesy ’90s franchise without actually making it good 🤷♂️.
The actor isn’t too salty about it, though. He’s actually excited to see what happens next with the franchise, which is reportedly getting a live-action series reboot at Disney+ 📺. Because, you know, the world was just missing a live-action Power Rangers series 🙄. I mean, who needs quality content when you can just reboot something from the ’90s and hope for the best? 🤣 Montgomery even said that “Power Rangers means a great deal to a lot of people” 🙌. Yeah, sure, dude, it means a great deal to the people who still live in their parents’ basement and eat Cheetos for dinner 🍟.
The movie itself was released in 2017 and received lukewarm reviews 🤔. It made $142 million against an estimated $105 million budget, but lost the studio a bunch of money after marketing and other expenses 📊. But hey, at least the cast had fun making it, right? 🎉 Montgomery said he had the “best time” making the movie, which is more than I can say for the audience who had to sit through it 🤣.
Anyway, if you’re one of the few people who actually liked the 2017 Power Rangers reboot, you might be excited to hear that it’s getting rebooted again 🎉. Because, you know, the first reboot wasn’t enough 🤦♂️. This time, it’s going to be a live-action series on Disney+, because that’s exactly what the world needs 🌎. So, get ready for more cheesy action sequences, cringeworthy dialogue, and teenagers in silly costumes 🎭. It’s going to be a wild ride 🎠.
And if you’re feeling nostalgic for the ’90s, don’t worry, there are plenty of other guilty pleasure movies from the decade that you can watch instead 📺. Like, remember that time you watched a movie and thought it was good, but really it was just a bunch of cheesy nonsense? 🤣 Yeah, those were the days 🙌. So, go ahead and rewatch some of those classic ’90s films, like, I don’t know, “Jingle All the Way” or “Blank Check” 🎬. Your brain (and your taste buds) will thank you 🤣.
