Most Craved #100 | Power Rangers, Avatar and Justice League

The future of movies is, as usual, the past. This week on Most Craved we’re taking a look at the biggest news about the upcoming Power Rangers reboot, James Cameron’s Avatar franchise and Zack Snyder’s Justice League!

First up we’ve got Elizabeth Banks as Rita Repulsa, a villain who didn’t used to be white but who seems to have escaped most of the accusations of whitewashing being lobbied at Hollywood lately. Is this new interpretation problematic, or is the Power Rangers reboot effectively distancing itself from every version that came before?

Also, James Cameron has announced that he’s working on four Avatar sequels… but do we still even want ONE of them? Was the Avatar phenomenon based on how pretty the movie was, or how much we actually had invested in the characters? Can James Cameron do no wrong, or could the Avatar movies turn out to be the biggest misfire of his career?

Oh yeah, and Willem Dafoe is going to be in Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Who is he playing? And after Batman v Superman, how much do we really care?
