Lionsgate's 'Power Rangers' Movie Casts Chinese Actor Ludi Lin as Black Ranger

The cast is beginning to assemble, with just a few spandex suits still to be filled.

Lionsgate has recruited Chinese actor Ludi Lin to morph into the Black Ranger for the studio's forthcoming Power Rangers movie.

The reboot of the iconic 1990s TV series will be directed by Dean Israelite (Project Almanac) and is due out in January 2017. The announcement was made via the Power Rangers movie's official Instagram account.

Lin was born in China but grew up in Australia and Canada before returning to Asia to pursue a career as an actor. Although somewhat new to the industry, he appears poised to break out. Earlier this year, Lin had a small role in Monster Hunt, China's highest-grossing film ever, followed by a cameo in comedy blockbuster Lost in Hong Kong. He can next be seen in season two of Netflix period series Marco Polo.

The Power Rangers cast is beginning to assemble. The Martian's Naomi Scott was previously announced as the Pink Ranger, and Australian actress Dacre Montgomery is set to play the Red Ranger.

Power Rangers follows the adventures of a group of high-school kids who are granted unique superpowers by an alien force, which they collectively harness to save the world. The hit '90s TV series, on which the film is based, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, was itself based on source material from a Japanese kids series called Super Sentai, produced by Toei.

The Power Rangers script was written by Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz, the screenwriting team behind X-Men: First Class.

Lin is managed by Andrew Ooi and Joel Morrish of Echelon Talent.

Everyone knows that a BLACK dude should play the BLACK Ranger and a YELLOW person should play the YELLOW Ranger. Thank you liberal SJW Hollywood.

Ain't the first American Power Rangers a little racist itself?

I know OP thinks he is doing satire of the Star Wars thing, but is OP still not aware that that wasn't real? That entire thing was 2 trolls who wanted to troll the media and see if they would report it like it was a real story.

Black people like the OP stay bounding themselves by their color. They wanna call everyone else racist, when they themselves are the racists.

youre a donkey. the cast of power rangers in 2015, the pink ranger, which conventionally was always a white blonde girl, was casted as a black girl (the most oppressed group in america). If you really cared about racial justice you would have created a thread about that, not bout the black ranger being an asian actor, as if that is a bad thing :roll: it contradicts youre own mentality, for other races, equality is wrong? but for justice for your own race, you dont even recognize it but choose to only do so for superficial reasons like the color of a costume? nikkas like you stay losing.

the cast of power rangers in 2015

Stopped reading right here. If it ain't Mighty Morphin' then it ain't Power Rangers.

Leave it to a Chinamen to not know something so basic.

I have no clue what these people are talking about since I haven't seen an episode since the first generation Mighty Morphin' era. Ivan Ooze was my nigguh, just for the record.

I have to admit, my only non-Nickeloden shits as a kid was Ninja Turtles and Garfield & Friends. And the TGIF lineup. And WWF. :rockon:

X-mens, power rangers, transformers, batman... I dont know nothin about it.

Maybe that's why I'm so disassociated from the collective :( :confusedshrug:

When you look back on your life on your deathbed and you ask, 'where did it all go wrong?'... That's the epiphany you'll have just before you take your final breath.

Yes, the Red Ranger... played by a Native American.

It was really f*cked up how when Tommy became the White Ranger, all of a sudden Jason was stripped of leadership duties in favor of him.

Zordon AKA 'The Man'. :facepalm

Hey, I'm also a Redskins fan. Maybe it was a subconscious connection.

I believe Zordon and Alpha 5 to represent profound metaphors for the American fabric. The idea of Alpha 5 drives this point home all the greater; a ditzy literal robot who is overly frazzled yet still executes the desires and greater goals of a larger than life entity like Zordon (Central Banks, IRS, FCC, etc.)

That shit was no coincidence.

While I have no idea what's going on, the Green ranger should be a pot head.
