It's expected though that Lionsgate would soon reveal the complete cast lineup for the reboot.
According to director Dean Israelite, "Mighty Morphine Power Rangers" reboot is now in "soft pre-production."
"I read the script and was really surprised by it and thought there was a really cool, contemporary, mature but still playful, buoyant and fun take on the material, and was updated in a really interesting way," Israelite explained to IGN.
Adding, "It had this wonderful character that's essential to going on a fantastic adventure. I was instantly drawn to it. "
"I remember it as a kid," he said. "I grew up with it in South Africa. When I opened the script I had no idea how it was going to be updated, and I was really impressed by it."
With the new possible cast line up in tow "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" reboot is slated for Jan. 13, 2017 release date.
