Newly released concept art has given fans a glimpse at what a cancelled Power Rangers reboot could have looked like, and the designs are already sparking plenty of discussion online.

Artist Samuel Garcia recently shared artwork created for a Power Rangers series that ultimately never moved forward. Garcia said he had received permission to release the designs after working on the project several years ago.

The artwork features redesigned Ranger suits with a noticeably more modern and armored appearance while still incorporating elements associated with the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The familiar white diamond pattern remains part of the designs, while the helmets and overall construction take the costumes in a much more futuristic direction.

Several of the images appear to feature Red, Blue and Green Rangers, suggesting the project may have experimented with a smaller initial Ranger lineup.

Garcia has not publicly identified the cancelled project as Netflix’s previously planned Power Rangers reboot. However, the timeline has led many fans and outlets to believe the artwork may have been created for that version of the franchise.

Netflix had been developing a new Power Rangers universe beginning around 2020, with Jonathan Entwistle overseeing plans that were expected to connect television and film projects. Jenny Klein later became showrunner of the planned live action series.

Those plans came to an end in 2024 when the project stopped moving forward at Netflix and Hasbro began looking for a new creative direction for the franchise.

Reaction to the newly released designs has been mixed. Some fans have praised the attempt to modernize the classic Ranger aesthetic, while others have criticized the suits for moving too far away from the simpler look that defined the television franchise.

The artwork also provides an interesting look at just how far development can progress before a television project ultimately disappears.

Another Power Rangers reboot was later developed for Disney+, but that project was also dropped earlier this year, leaving the future of the franchise on television uncertain.

For now, Garcia’s concept art offers fans something they rarely get to see: a version of the Power Rangers that came surprisingly close to existing but never actually made it to the screen.

Taika Waititi’s long discussed Star Wars movie appears to be further away from happening than ever.

The filmmaker recently gave an update on the project, saying the movie is currently “very iced” after spending years in development at Lucasfilm.

“It’s very iced. I’ve got about four other movies I’m trying to do,” Waititi said while discussing the status of the project.

Waititi had been developing the film with screenwriter Tony McNamara, but the two have now shifted their attention toward another project together.

The untitled Star Wars movie was first announced in 2020, with Waititi initially working alongside 1917 writer Krysty Wilson-Cairns. McNamara later became involved with the screenplay as development continued.

Despite years of work, the project never received an official production start or release date. Waititi had previously said he wanted his film to capture some of the fun and adventurous spirit of the original Star Wars movies while bringing something new to the franchise.

While his latest comments make it clear the movie is no longer a priority, Waititi stopped short of saying the project is completely dead.

“Ice ages do come to an end,” he joked. “Who knows?”

For now, though, fans hoping to see Waititi’s take on the galaxy far, far away may be waiting quite a bit longer.

Dwayne Johnson is getting fans ready for one final trip into the world of Jumanji.

A new poster for Jumanji: Open World has been revealed ahead of the film’s Christmas Day release, bringing the core cast back together for what is being billed as the final chapter of the current Jumanji series.

Johnson returns as Dr. Smolder Bravestone alongside Kevin Hart as Franklin “Mouse” Finbar, Jack Black as Professor Shelly Oberon and Karen Gillan as Ruby Roundhouse.

The new installment takes the franchise in a bigger direction, with the chaos of Jumanji spilling into the real world.

Johnson shared the new look while teasing the adventure as “one final game,” reinforcing the idea that Open World could close out the modern trilogy that began with Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.

Jake Kasdan returns to direct, with several familiar faces also returning for the new film.

The modern Jumanji movies have turned the franchise into one of Sony’s biggest adventure properties by mixing action, comedy and the video game mechanics introduced in Welcome to the Jungle.

Now the game is getting even bigger.

Jumanji: Open World arrives in theaters December 25, 2026.
