Cranston believes that the new Power Rangers franchise is different from the previous ones since it will have a fresh approach.
The new Power Rangers movie will not be the same as the previous ones. It will not be as childish as the ones in the 1990's. It has a totally different approach and a different style. In fact, director Dean Israelite stated that the new film does not re-imagine the original Power Rangers heroes.
"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 told IGN.
The film features Dacre Montgomery, Becky G, Ludi Lin, Naomi Scott and RJ Cyler as Angel Grove's finest, the film also stars Elizabeth Banks who plays the alien supervillain Rita Repulsa. The mix of talents creates a balance of a new and powerful film.
