Legend Of The White Dragon 2024 upcoming Movie

Legend of the White Dragon is an upcoming science-fiction movie that’s been repeatedly delayed for several reasons, but the fan-funded Power Rangers spinoff is officially confirmed to be going ahead and has even been given a final release date. The film tells the story of Erik Reed, the White Dragon, who returns home from a deadly battle to protect his wife and daughter from an otherworldly threat. It’s said to be a more mature take on the Power Rangers franchise, starring the late Jason David Frank in his final on-screen performance.

The first trailer for Legend of the White Dragon was released back in 2020, with plenty more footage being released as the production process went on. Interestingly, Legend of the White Dragon was funded and campaigned through the crowdfunding site Kickstarter, with over 5,000 backers pledging upwards of $500,000 toward the project (via Kickstarter). This proves just how highly anticipated the project has become, with Power Rangers fans donating their own money to see this new vision of the franchise.

Legend Of The White Dragon Has A Planned 2023 Release Date

In an official Legend of the White Dragon Instagram post from 2021 celebrating the birthday of star Rachele Brooke Smith, it was officially announced that “the start of [the] whole new superhero universe” would be released in 2023. This not only proved that the movie was still going ahead but also revealed that it wouldn’t be the last property in this fictional universe. The team clearly has further ideas for expanding this franchise, and if Legend of the White Dragon is successful enough, this could be the start of an ongoing series offering a new take on the Power Rangers universe.

Before that Instagram announcement, the film had already been delayed several times, with the latest coming as a result of Jason David Frank’s death. In spite of his absence, the production team decided to continue with the project in his honor and release the film for all the fans who contributed to it. Legend of the White Dragon now has an official release date of September 4, 2023.

The LOTWD Team Wants Jason David Frank's Dream To Be "Seen By Everyone"

Legend of the White Dragon was famously a passion project of Jason David Frank, its lead star, and despite his death in 2022, the team was determined to ensure that all his work wouldn’t go to waste. Another post on the official Legend of the White Dragon's Instagram, the production wrote, “We are working very hard behind the scenes [to] make sure his dream is seen by everyone!” The film’s cast and crew have all provided their condolences to Frank and his family, working hard to ensure that Legend of the White Dragon lives up to expectations and gets the release they worked so hard for.
