The next version of Power Rangers is coming sooner than you think! Saban Brands' partnership with Nickelodeon is continuing through at least 2018, so Power Rangers isn’t going anywhere for the foreseeable future. This will keep Power Rangers on Nickelodeon for the franchise's 25th anniversary and the release of the big budget movie (coming in March 2017). So now that Dino Charge has reached its conclusion, it's time to get ready for Power Rangers Ninja Steel!

Power Rangers Ninja Steel Trailer
Here's the first look at the Power Rangers Ninja Steel trailer.
Watch it here...
The trailer doesn't give us many shots of the new Ninja Steel team, but we do get a few glimpses that provide some clues. First off, the Blue Ranger is dressed in a fancy suit. This could mean his character is close to his Sentai counterpart, who was an uptight wizard.
Watch Power Rangers on Amazon
The biggest moment that will leave Power Rangers fans either excited or scratching their heads is a very quick shot of the Rangers fighting what very closely resembles one of the Fearcats (specifically Mig) from Power Rangers Operation Overdrive. What is a Fearcat doing there? Is it just another repurposed monster suit, or does one of the villains of Overdrive have something to do with Galvanax? It is possible it's just another of the Fearcats race, but Dino Charge also featured an important villain from a previous season in the background of a scene, so who knows?
We've also got another generic trailer here that doesn't show off much besides a group shot of the whole team about to morph. Check it out here.
The real question on fans minds is will this season feature dinosaurs walking around the Earth after the events of Dino Charge's finale?
