I know Tommy isn't in the new movie. But I wonder if he should be left out of the new franchise. Its going to be hard to come up with a new character that lives up to the old. They created Tommy by accident. He was never supposed to become as popular as he did. He wasn't even really a permanent cast member. With Rjta apparently having the green coin in the movie, it mught be better off to not adapt Tommy in future sequels. You can't recreate "Green With Evil" anyway.

I really want to see Tommy in the new Movie Series.

Not only can you recreate "Green With Evil". You can make an even better movie version of it. They would be crazy not to debut a new Tommy if they get more movies.

Yes! Please don't inflict Tommy into the new universe. One Tommy was enough..We donr need another one taking over the new movies. And it would come off as forced anyway .

I would guess a theoretical sequel would include some version of Tommy. There is some validity to the idea it will be hard to recreate the Tommy Insanity we saw in MMPR. Or whatever you want to call it. It is interesting if Rita does have Green Ranger Coin in her staff like has been assumed.

Tommy would most likely be messed up by the Producers of this movie.. Not that this thing is getting a sequel.

How do we know that? We haven't even seen the first movie? The trailers.all look good to me anyway.

They have to do a Tommy if there is a second movie. They should have introduced him in this one.

I don't think Tommy will be the same. And I don't think he will have to carry the whole franchise like JDF had to. They seem to be going with more of an assemble thing. And I doubt the new Tommy will be able to carry the franchise on his own. There is only one Jason David Frank after-all.

They really should have just done something set in continuity with the original cast or their characters kids. Tommy should always be Jason David Frank. No new Tommy will capture people's imaginations.

With what they revealed about the upcoming movie's Rita I think we'll get a Tommy but that would be a sequel if that ever happens. You have to establish your five teenagers with attitude first.

This is one of the few decisions I agree with with this movie.You can't have Tommy just show up and upstage the team in the first movie. It makes the newbies look weak.

I don't think a cameo woukd have hurt. He doesn't have to become a Ranger this movie. Just tease him for later movies.

Its better for them to just worry about this movje before focusing on too much om sequels. It leads to trouble sometimes. Especially when ou don't wind up with a sequel to pay it off and wind up with an inferior movie. Just look at Independence Day : Resurgence. Which was more concerned with getting to the cooler sequel than crafting a statifying movie, to relaunch an exisiting movie franchise in that case.

Nobody really cares.about this film or about MMPR. Ninja Storm would have so much more buzz as a film..Even if it was a reboot.

If we get more films there will be some version of Tommy. Whether Rita is a former Green Ranger or not.

Its definitely an interesting winkle if Rita is the former Green Ranger. Zordon is apparently the forner Red Ranger, so its not far fetched.

If there is a sequel there will be a Tommy. Its inevitabe, just like there will be a Zedd. But he apparently will at least be mentioned this film. Tommy doesn't need to be but has a definite llace in sequels.

There definitely needs to be a Tommy at some point. I just hope they don't change him too much. It will be wierd seeing someone else besides Jason David Frank play Tommy Oliver.

I would have had Tommy now to increase the chances of successm What if it does so bad there is no second movie? The movie Tommy's origin doesn't need to be the same as the shows.

I don't think a new Tommy is going to lead the movie franchise like the old one did. They are better off with a new character that is more original.

I can't see a new Tommy being as important as the old.
