As the world waits to see whats next forPower Rangers,the superhero franchise may return to its past with the help of generative AI. During this weekends New York Toy Fair, attendees learned Playmates, which has the franchises toy license, was teaming with Hasbro to re-releaseMighty Morphin Power Rangerson YouTube and Netflix in July, with the age-old goal of trying to bring new audiences into the morphin fold. Thats nothing terribly new, as MMPRgot a rebroadcast on ABC back in 2010 with updated visual effects and a new intro sequence. Whats different with this new versionsubtitledRe-Ignitionis that itll employ the controversial technology to remaster the series, and it may be used for later seasons of the series going down the line. Generative AI has been divisive ever since it started taking off. In the past year, eagle-eyed viewers have called out studios for using genAI on remasters of films like True Lies and Aliens, or creating cover art for classic films. (This goes well beyond movies: any company in any visual medium thats used the technology, or employed someone who used it but failed to disclose that, tends to get harsh backlash.) At time of writing, Hasbro and Playmates havent shown off anything for MMPR: Re-Ignition. But if true, this is another blowlongtime Power Rangersfans, whove wanted the frequent returns to Mighty Morphin to end for some time now, and are still burned by last years unceremonious auctioning off of decades worth of props and costumes. io9 has reached out to Playmates for confirmation onRe-Ignitionsuse of generative AI, and will update when a response is given.
