A new chapter for Power Rangers starts later this year, and while it will introduce fresh ideas, the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers will still be important to the overall story. Although many details are still unknown, we now know two key things about the new series: it will take place significantly in the future, and a familiar villain will return.
The latest details about the new Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series have been released, revealing the show will take place ten years after the original team put away their Power Ranger suits and went their separate ways. They’ll be called back into action when a dangerous new version of Rita Repulsa – now known as Rita Rabiosa – emerges as a threat.
The Original Team Returns, But Are They Still The Heroes We Remember?
What’s really cool about this new series is how the jump forward in time shakes things up, particularly what we expect to happen. We’re not sure when the Rangers lost their morphers – it could have been at any point during the original Mighty Morphin story. All we know is that this new story begins ten years after that event.
How much impact this retirement has on the story depends on how long ago these characters stopped being Rangers. Even a ten-year gap would likely be significant. We’ve seen similar stories before, like Amy Jo Johnson and Matt Hotson’s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Return, which continued the show’s storyline years later. It’s currently unknown if this new story connects to past comics or the original television series.
I’ve always been interested in seeing how established Power Rangers teams interact, whether it’s the original Mighty Morphin crew or any other season. With a writer like Marguerite Bennett leading the project – she’s previously handled a team with members from different timelines and universes – I expect this series will deliver on that front.
A key addition to the story is Rita Rabiosa, described as a fresh take on a classic villain. This suggests she’s based on the original Rita Repulsa, but with a unique twist, and it’s yet to be revealed what that will be. We’ve previously seen different versions of Rita, like Mistress Vile and Robot Rita, each offering something new. Hopefully, this Rabiosa version will be just as engaging and bring a new dimension to the character. The full story details are available below.
Get ready for a fresh new look as the iconic Mighty Morphin Power Rangers return! It’s been a decade since the original team hung up their Power Ranger suits, but they’re now being called back to the Command Center. A dangerous new version of their old enemy, Rita Rabiosa, has emerged, and they must answer the call. While they’ve grown up since their teenage years, the question remains: can they still be the heroes everyone remembers?
Critically acclaimed comic writer Marguerite Bennett, known for titles like Bombshells and Batwoman, teams up with experienced artist Andrew Lee Griffith (Transformers, G.I. Joe) to launch a fresh take on Power Rangers. This new series is designed to appeal to both newcomers and dedicated fans!
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #1 is scheduled to hit comic stores on June 3rd, 2026.
