screenrant.com/power-rangers-jason-david-frank-green-ranger-ending/?utm_source=SR-FB-P&utm_medium=Social-Distribution&utm_campaign=SR-FB-P&view=listIn an interview with Syfy Wire at New York Comic Con 2017, Frank discussed the role of Tommy Oliver and how he would like the character’s story to end. According to Frank, he would like Tommy to have a sendoff similar to what 20th Century Fox did with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in Logan. Logan, which is considerably darker than anything Saban has ever done with Power Rangers, provided a deep, emotional story that ended with Wolverine’s brutal death. Not only does this sendoff face the challenge of being made considering the drastically different tone, there’s also the problem of where it would fit in with the franchise. However, Frank says that there’s been discussions about a solo project for the Green Ranger and that he “still feels strongly that the Green Ranger can hold down his own series.” "I have talked to Saban, we’ve talked numerous years about doing a solo Green Ranger project. I’m not giving up on it and it’s not a firm no." It remains to be seen just how dark Frank wants the Green Ranger project to be. His response to the Power/Rangers fan film suggests that he would be opposed to the story being too dark. Calling himself a “PG-13 guy,” Frank said in 2015 that profanity and drugs “don’t fly” for him. Whether the actor gets the Logan-like ending he wants or not, Frank remains confident that an ending for the character will come at some point.

Would be interesting. But likely would never happen.

Never say never. However with Lionsgate planning multiple sequels to Saban's Power Rangers, it will have to stay on hold for now since JDF doesn't want to compete.

I kinda laughed at that "I want a Logan-like sendoff for Tommy" Nope.
But I agree, an ending for the character is inevitable.

However with Lionsgate planning multiple sequels to Saban's Power Rangers, They likely aren't going forward with them, though. Even though I don't think this project is going go anywhere either...

It's just like jdf other ideas of a solo green ranger movie, a solo green ranger show. Not likely to ever happen. As for any future theatrical films who knows what they will do.

I think a Tommy movie could have the potential to be really cool. I don't know if I'd want to be like "Logan" though. We don't need an OG Ranger dying dramatically. Maybe aim more towards "The Wolverine."
Also I imagine it'd be more like a telefilm than an actual theatrical work.

JDF forgot the part where Hugh Jackman could actually act and people would take a dramatic Wolverine film seriously. Never say never. However with Lionsgate planning multiple sequels to Saban's Power Rangers, it will have to stay on hold for now since JDF doesn't want to compete. Yeaaah that was before the box office returns were mediocre. At this rate a Power Rangers 2 is less than likely.

Only way I'd see a project solely focused on the Green Ranger working is if it were in an alternate timeline where he was successful in destroying the Power Rangers but then gave up his life to break away from the life of evil after realizing what he had done. That way it's not too dark but falls in line with how JDF wants to see the character end.

ya it wont ever happen. If jdf wants a logan type of film. HE would have to make his own fan film, or be something like those beatdown shorts. As sabasn not likely to ever do something like that.

Jean Claude Van Damme can play the villain.

I don't want Tommy to die. And how would he die anyway? He'd have to be killed while he's unmorphed. I've seen Tommy fall all the way from his Zord and hit the ground and didn't die. Blasted, sliced, stabbed and pelted with boulders and didn't die.

I can picture it now, an old Tommy Oliver is helping a somehow alive ailing Zordon. Zordon with multiple seizuers has killed off most of the power rangers. They find a little Tommy clone called Tammy and she will be the new successor and lead a new group of rangers to stop evil.
