The last Power Rangers film failed to resonate with audiences, but now the franchise will be getting another reboot with some significant changes. The lineup will be pretty different this time around and though no casting has been announced just yet, Paramount is reportedly interested in a black actress taking on the role of the Yellow Ranger.
Fans of the long-running franchise have seen the members of the team change several times, of course. Every new chapter calls for some fresh talent, and Paramount’s upcoming Power Rangers reboot will look to start over after the less than stellar 2017 film from Lionsgate.
For the upcoming reinvention, our sources – the same ones who said Jim Carrey’s Mask will cameo in Space Jam 2 and a new Scream movie is in the works, both of which are now confirmed – tell us that Paramount is reportedly eyeing a black actress to play the Yellow Ranger.

Still immensely popular on morning TV and worthy of a second round as a big-screen contender, the Power Rangers return in "Turbo", a high-spirited fantasy adventure co-directed and co-written by franchise co-founder Shuki Levy.
20th Century Fox's family-oriented film is action-packed and silly, the equal of 1995's entertaining "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie," but unlikely to open with much of a bang.
A multigenre combination of sci-fi concepts and characters, cliffhanger heroics, kung-fu movie fights and juvenile humor, Saban Entertainment and Toei Co.'s "Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie" borrows heavily from "E.T". and the Indiana Jones trilogy. Current "Power Rangers ZEO" and former cast members return with several newcomers as the Rangers battle a wicked space pirate.
The five Rangers -- including Tommy Jason David Frank) as the new Red Ranger, young Justin Blake Foster) as Blue Ranger and Rocky (Steve Cardenas) -- are directed by leader Zordon to rescue a fugitive wizard captured by matinee vamp Divatox (Hilary Shepard Turner) and her dim-witted but fearsome henchmen.
Purring and looking like E.T.'s cousin from the planet of the leprechauns, the wizard Lerigot is vulnerable to sunlight and even has a scene in which he heals a Ranger's wound. To further gain our sympathy, Lerigot's wife and infant are captured and threatened, but it's the villains who are the most entertaining.
The pace is fast and furious, with the teen heroes handling numerous opponents and perils as normal humans. But the crowd-pleasing final third finds the turbo-powered Rangers in their Zords taking on Divatox and her husband-to-be, a powerful demon imprisoned inside a volcano.
Old pros of the first film or the TV show, Frank, Johnny Yong Bosch, Catherine Sutherland and Nakia Burrise are a smoothly functioning unit, with Foster's gung-ho rookie stirring things up. Low-comedy relief is again provided by stooges Bulk (Paul Schrier) and Skull (Jason Narvy).
Returning for a subplot involving a submarine and lava pit, former Red Ranger Jason (Austin St. John) and Pink Ranger Kimberly Amy Jo Johnson) are involved in the exciting finale.
Directors Levy and David Winning, along with cinematographer Ilana Rosenberg and production designer Yuda Ako, display plenty of imagination and create a few wondrous moments with the low-tech special effects.
