Steve Wang (Chinese: 王孫杰) is a make-up artist and filmmaker. Born in Taiwan, he and his parents moved to the US when he was nine. His greatest inspirations were the tokusatsu superhero TV shows Ultraman and Kamen Rider, as well as Hong Kong kung fu films including Master of the Flying Guillotine. As a veteran makeup artist and creature designer, Steve has worked with fellow veterans before him including Stan Winston, Rick Baker and Dick Smith. He has received great praise for his film adaptation of the manga superhero Guyver in 1994 called Guyver: Dark Hero.[citation needed] Another project which drew attention to him was the direct to video movie, Drive, which starred Mark Dacascos and Kadeem Hardison. He also made independent films such as Kung Fu Rascals, based on a series of 8 mm short films he did years before. He and his brother Michael Wang, an award-winning commercials director, have recently been hired to work on Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight (an adaptation of Kamen Rider Ryuki), a second attempt at reviving the Kamen Rider Series in the United States, after Saban's Masked Rider of 1995. They write, produce, and direct as "The Wang Brothers". Steve Wang designed a sculpture depicting Sarah Kerrigan (The Queen of Blades), a character from the Starcraft Universe in 2012. The sculpture was placed at the Blizzard Entertainment Office in Versailles, France the same year. He has also made statues of Tryndamere and Ryze, two champions from League of Legends, for Riot Games that same year.

In a future where Earth is protected by generations of Power Rangers, a new threat emerges from beyond the stars. The Machina Legion, an empire of sentient mechanical worlds, invades the universe with the goal of converting every planet into a giant machine under their control. When an experimental energy source known as the Infinity Grid Core is activated, five ancient robotic guardians awaken. Chosen by destiny, a young hero named Zane Carter becomes the White Ranger and joins forces with four powerful machine-based Rangers inspired by legendary technologies from across the galaxy. Together, they form the team known as Power Rangers: Machina Legion. Each Ranger commands a colossal robotic body with unique powers and personalities. Despite their differences, they must learn to fight as one family against the ruthless Emperor Gearax and his endless army of cybernetic invaders. As the battle escalates, the Rangers discover that the Machina Legion's invasion is connected to forgotten secrets hidden within the Morphin Grid itself. To save all realities, they must unlock the power of unity, courage, and the legacy of every Ranger who came before them. Filled with giant robot battles, dimensional adventures, comedy, heart, and epic crossover moments, Power Rangers: Machina Legion reimagines the spirit of Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger as a celebration of the entire Power Rangers universe.
