The script is to be written by Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz, who have worked on X-Men: First Class and Thor. Saban, creator of the series, will be producing with Brian Shearmur.

Jason David Frank is said to have an important role in the film, likely reprising the character of Tommy Oliver, better known as the Green Ranger, later the White Ranger (pictured above- he’s the white one), though nothing has been specifically confirmed. No further additional casting announcements or plot details have been shared at this time.

Expect more news as the story develops, as the movie is still in its infancy stages. The film hits theaters July 22, 2016.
