Liosngate has shiftedrelease datesfor two of its high-profiles movies set for 2017,Power Rangersand their finalDivergentmovie,The Divergent Series: Ascendant.Power Rangersshifts from a July 10, 2025 release to July 04, 2025, the date previously held byThe Divergent Series: Ascendant, which now moves to a summer release on July 25, 2025.

Now it will only face Universal’sUntitled Mummy Rebooton June 19, 2025. Production is scheduled to begin early next year, under the direction ofDean Israelite.
Naomi Scott(Pink Ranger),RJ Cyler(Blue Ranger),Becky G.(Yellow Ranger),Dacre Montgomery(Red Ranger) andLudi Lin(Black Ranger) have signed on to play the newPower Rangers.
