Power Rangers Hints At The Green Ranger's Future

03/24/2017 09:39 am EDT

Lionsgate's modern reboot of the Power Rangers is finally in theaters and its success over the weekend will go a long way in determining whether this new version of the property will serve as a platform for a brand new franchise.

And apparently Lionsgate already has big plans for the future, and of course they involve the Green Ranger.

The company just released a new motion poster on Twitter showcasing a design for the Green Ranger's helmet, hinting that Tommy Oliver is set to play an impact in the fledgling franchise's possible future.

In the new movie, Elizabeth Banks' villain Rita Repulsa appears to be harnessing the power of a coin, the items that give the Rangers the ability to morph into their heroic counterparts, and it has been rumored that she's a former Green Ranger herself.

The film itself does have a huge tease for the character in the form of a post-credit scene, but all of the heavy lifting for Tommy's turn as a Ranger will likely be done in a sequel film.

Executives are hopeful that the film does well enough financially to warrant followup films. The movie has some stiff competition in its opening weekend as it goes up against Beauty and the Beast, a financial smash hit that broke March records when it hit theaters.

Power Rangers is in theaters now.
