Jason David Frank is Trying to get a Green Ranger Series Made
In recent years, Jason David Frank has really been embracing his role as the most iconic Power Ranger. He’s been part of a lot of fan videos and reprised his role for the Shattered Grid trailer. It looks like he’s pushing again for a Green Ranger series now. This comes with him helping on Soul of the Dragon which is a Green Ranger solo book. Frank has said that one of his big worries about the series would be having to fit into spandex again. Frank was asked at Comic-Con about the series by CB, and he gave this answer:
“I always wanted the Green Ranger series. Probably going to get it, with all due respect to anyone because I’m not letting the cat out of the bag, but the fanbase is starting to generate what’s going on. Now with the Soul of the Dragon book being released in December, it’s a solo Green Ranger book. It’s the Old Man Logan book that I wanted in the past. We’ve talked, I mean Aaron’s pitched this thing a long time ago, the Green Ranger.
I don’t want to be paid to go to the Hasbro booth. To be paid to tell the fans ‘well Hasbro’s great!’. I’m telling you from the heart, not from a financial standpoint that I think with what they have planned, which I don’t know everything, I think it’s going to be great. I also think it’s going to be great for the Green Ranger. I think it’s going to be great for Drakkon. My fanbase contains more than Hasbro’s following. Literally three times the amount, and I think people are starting to see that now.
So if it was up to me and I had a show I would invite a lot of cool people back. Put the invites out for some of the original Rangers. I would see if they can integrate. The only problem is that I have, and this is with all due respect to the superheroes around the world, you have to fit in spandex in order to be a Ranger. That’s the truth! I don’t want to come out with no slow-motion shot, and I’m not saying that to anyone, there’s like 100 something Rangers and I don’t follow them actively, but the last thing I want to do is come out in the slow-motion shot and people go ‘oh’. I want to look like a hero, ya know what I mean? I may be old but I might still be able to pull it off. There’s going to be a point where they’re going to say ‘Jason, remember that thing you talked about on ComicBook.com? Get out of your spandex.”
Do you think this will happen now that Hasbro owns Power Rangers? Do you want a Green Ranger series?
