Will "Twilight" star, Taylor Lautner, appear in the 2016 reboot of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers?"

A lot of buzz has been surrounding the 22-year-old actor and his possible involvement in the new film. According to Enstarz, "Hunger Games" actor, Liam Hemsworth, may be highly unlikely to star in the movie, along with other celebrities, but the werewolf heartthrob is not out of the realm of possibilities.

Thor's younger brother, Liam, is making a name for himself, but he may not be able to carry a big movie like "Power Rangers" just yet, ENstarz added. Lautner's career has been largely linked to the successful "Twilight" franchise, and his public appeal could reportedly make him a more favorable option by the studio.

One thing that has been confirmed since the announcement of the reboot is that producer, Roberto Orci, is part of the production. Per another report by Enstarz, Orci's credits include other big time nostalgia trips including "Transformers" and "Star Trek." He would be assisting "X-Men: First Class" writers, Zack Stenz and Ashley Miller, with the film's script.

Two stars have also been cast. Chloe Moretz has accepted to take on the character of the Pink Ranger along with Jason David Frank who will play a mentor in the film, following his previous role as both the Green and White Power Ranger, reported The Inquisitr.

Additionally, the original cast of the film may have cameo roles. Orci said, in an IGN report, that this could happen in order to maintain continuity. "Of course. That's something we want to rely on the Saban group to tell us," he said.

"They have a lot of internal knowledge of their franchise and we're just learning now. We've seen it only as fans, but they actually know it inside and out, so I'd love to know what fans want to see," quoted the site of the producer.

The most important element in ensuring the film's success would be nostalgia. Orci explained, via Enstarz, "Part of it is seeing what we remember of it; our generation and what our memories of it are. Part of it is seeing the fans of it today. There are a lot of kids that love it today, and so it's about doing your homework," he said.

No release date for the film has been set. Stay tuned for more.
