Power Rangers Feature Film Release Date Changed!

Last year Saban Brands and Lionsgate announced a tentative date for the Power Rangers feature film of July 22, 2016. When Roberto Orci left as Executive Producer, Ranger Nation began to speculate if the movie would still be released on that date.

Now, Deadline is reporting that the new release date is Martin Luther King Jr. weekend of 2017, January 13th.

Update 12-17-2015: Variety reports the movie’s new release date is March 24th, 2017. Confirmed by the movie’s Instagram account.

This gives recently announced director Dean Israelite some more time to complete the movie.
