EXCLUSIVE: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always composer Ron Wasserman pitches how the Netflix film could become its own series.
The Power Rangers are celebrating their 30th anniversary with the release of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always, a film that is a standalone revisitation of the original Power Rangers series. Original cast members David Yost and Walter Jones are back as Billy and Zach, respectively, and Barbara Goodson returns to once again voice classic Mighty Morphin antagonist Rita Repulsa in this darker, deeper Power Rangers story.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Also returning is original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers composer Ron Wasserman. Wasserman composed the iconic Mighty Morphin Power Rangers theme song, and excitedly discussed the opportunity he was given to compose more mature music to fit the new tone of this project during an exclusive interview with Screen Rant.
I'm hoping, and I think there is plenty of room for this to become its own series, where they touch on the past, but bring in some new things. They can be a little bit like this; [they can be] more complicated and have more depth emotionally. I think it's also a way to keep the franchise alive. I realize they're still doing the other stuff, but I think it could be a whole new market for Hasbro. It feels like it.
Once & Always Proves The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Have Stories Left To Tell At first glance, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always feels like a film not many thought to ask for, and yet it is a promising sign of potential for the long-dormant characters. The willingness of Hasbro to produce a more mature iteration of a classically campy series opens the door to future stories with a similar tone.
