Newcomer Ludi Lin Cast As The 'Black Ranger' In MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS Reboot
The team is really coming together now. Saban Entertainment have revealed that newcomer Ludi Lin will be the one who becomes the Black Ranger in Lionsgate's upcoming Mighty Morphin Power Rangers reboot.
The casting news just keep pouring in. Lionsgate & Saban Entertainment have now announced that they've found another key team member for their upcoming Dean Israelite-directed Mighty Morphin Power Rangers reboot. Newcomer Ludi Lin has joined the team as Zack Taylor a.k.a. the Black Ranger (although the name is subject to change). He'll more than likely harness the "Mastodon" dinozord powers.
Lin has presumably beaten out the likes of Daniel Zovatto (It Follows), Ross Butler (Chasing Life), and Brian 'Sene' Marc (Luke Cage), who were all rumored to be up for the part in a Variety report from earlier this month. Lin now joins fellow newcomer Dacre Montgomery (Betrand The Terrible), who will be playing the Red Ranger, and Naomi Scott (The Martian), who will be playing the Pink Ranger. Based on the three castings so far, it no longer seems as though these new Rangers will be updated takes on the originals, but more like reimaginings. Regardless, check out the rumored description of the new Zack below:
Zack – 17 years old, always the life of the party. Filled with bravado and swagger, Zack’s tough and cool on the exterior. A charming guy who’s never had trouble with the one-liner, nor lacked confidence around women. A great athlete that’s never wanted to play on any team but his own. Zack advertises everything about himself, except the truth, which is that he lives in a trailer park with his single mom, and because of it, feels deeply inferior to all his peers.
Like Montgomery, Lin is also a relative unknown. His most prominent credits include an episode of Netflix's Marco Polo, and a movie titled Monster Hunt.
Check out the announcement below:
After 10,000 years of imprisonment, the evil sorceress Rita Repulsa and her loyal minions are freed when astronauts on a routine mission in space accidentally open her dumpster prison on the Moon. A team of “five teenagers with attitude” — Jason, Zack, Kimberly, Billy and Trini — receive superpowers beyond their wildest dreams so they can defend the Earth as the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
