We have some more updates on the upcoming Power Rangers Super Megaforce season, specifically more updates on possible cameos from various actors.

To begin, Walter E Jones who played Zack the Black Ranger on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers tweeted the following message from his twitter account:

“I just want to say sorry to all the Power Ranger Fans! I will not be in Super Mega Force. It would have been great though!”

Richard Brancatisano, or Xander the Green Ranger from Power Rangers Mystic Force, let Fury Diamond of RangerCrew.com that he was not invited to be a part of Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

Rhoda Montemayor, or Rose the Pink Ranger from Power Rangers Operation Overdrive was not invited, and had the following to say:

“I’m a bit gutted that I didn’t get the invite, but if I had been invited, I definitely would have begged my producer to rejig the shooting schedule so I could to do it…and to the lucky rangers who are doing it – may the force be with you.”

Erika Fong, or Mia the Pink Ranger from Power Rangers Samurai is not able to go to the cameo shooting, as she is busy with another project. This one shocks us because the rest of her cast apparently are returning.

Steven Skyler, or Antonio the Gold Ranger from Power Rangers Samurai was invited and has not come to a decision at this time.

As always, a big thanks to our friends at RangerCrew.com for being able to get answers out of a lot of the actors.

Rangercrew Member Fury Diamond once again breaks some news for Super Megaforce.

Not counting the Samurai Rangers, it seems that only 10 past actors have signed contracts to reappear on Super Megaforce.

Earlier, Jason Faunt has confirmed that he will be reprising his roll as Wesely Collins, in addition to David Slavin and Jason David Frank whom both confirmed that they will be making cameos.

Fury Diamond’s exact post is as follows:

One of my sources has confirmed that 10 past cast members have signed contracts and already completed their fitting. Some of these cast members are not active with the fandom and Power Rangers conventions. Jason Faunt confirmed earlier today and Danny Slavin may be one of the other cast members. The Samurai Cast members are not included in the 10 members.

Several cast members got the invite but didn’t get the uninvite letter. They are waiting for production to make a decision. These cast members are very excited to return.

My guess is that the production team only allocated for 10 past cast members.

Update:

Fury Diamond has now confirmed the 10 actors that will be appearing in Super Megaforce, from Diamond’s exact Post here is the list of confirmed Actors that are gonna appear in Super Megaforce:

I got off the phone with my source with a fun list of confirmed cameos. I am waiting confirmation for the final one. They said that only 10 members were confirmed. I don’t know whether they are planning for additional cameos since several cast members are still waiting for confirmation / uninvites.

Here’s some good news.

According to our friends at RangerCrew.com, we have updates on three of the actors who were in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.

Danny Slavin who played Leo the Red Ranger in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy accepted the cameo invite to appear in Power Rangers Super Megaforce. Whether he is still attending or if he received an uninvite E-mail is unknown at the time of this news update.

Valerie Vernon who played Kendrix the Pink Ranger in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy had to turn down the cameo invite, as she’s a mother and did not receive enough time in advance to plan accordingly. She states:

One month wasn’t enough time..especially when you have kids. If I was given two to three months to plan for it I could have gone. I’m so bummed! I was looking forward to seeing some of my old friends! Maybe they’ll do another one soon! I’d love to be in the next one!”

Finally, Reggie Rolle who played Damon the Green Ranger in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy also received the invite and was still considering whether or not to attend as he was given very little advance warning before filming was to begin.

As always check our comprehensive list of returning and not-returning actors for Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

Over the course of the last 8 hours there have been more cast updates about the upcoming anniversary season of Power Rangers Super Megaforce. For starters, we’ll continue with the most famous of the franchise, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

David Yost, who played Billy the Blue Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, has tweeted that he chose not to go back to Power Rangers.

Megaforce=No 4 me. They lost me when the offer started “Dear Power Ranger” & had several grammatical errors. #donewithabusiverelationships

Through our good friend Fury Diamond of RangerCrew.com, we’ve also learned that Sally Martin, who played Tori the Blue Wind Ranger in Power Rangers Ninja Storm, as well as Melanie Vellajo, who played Madison the Blue Ranger in Power Rangers Mystic Force, did not receive invites to appear as a cameo. Fury Diamond confirms it in this tweet here.

And finally, Dan Ewing, Dillon the Black Ranger from Power Rangers RPM, let his fans know that he did not receive an invite either.

UPDATE: Not that this comes as any surprise, but Mr. Yellow was able to discover that none of the Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers were invited to attend. Check out the info by clicking here.

UPDATE #2: Caitlin Murphy, who played Ronny the Yellow Ranger in Power Rangers Operation Ovedrive, received an invite BEFORE the “mass E-mail” sent out by Saban Brands, but has never heard back from production.

We’ve updated our comprehensive list of actors returning and not returning for Super Megaforce. What are your thoughts on the latest developments for casting?

under Ultraman

Shout Factory, known for bringing Power Rangers to DVD recently here in the US, and the 3 Japanese exclusive G1 Transformers series before that, is taking a stab at some classic tokusatsu. Announced today, Shout Factory will be releasing a full DVD set of Ultra Q!

Ultra Q, as you may or may not know, is the precursor to the original Ultraman series which ran from 1966-67. This DVD release will contain the full 28 episode run of Ultra Q. Currently it’s unknown whether or not these DVD’s will only contain the Japanese audio track with english subtitles, or if it will also contain the elusive english dub produced in the late 60’s by Film House in Canada.

What is known is that it will be digitally colored and re-mastered from it’s original black and white, contain the full 6-disc 28 episode series, and that retail price will be $59.97. However pre-ordering through the shout factory site will reduce the price to $47.98.

Now we’re not 100% certain on this one, but we’re calling it close enough to call. Today Brand Jay McLaren who played Jack the Red Ranger on Power Rangers S.P.D. responded to Fury Diamond stating that he was not invited for Super Megaforce.

In the tweets that followed, Chris Violette who played Sky Tate the Blue Ranger on Power Rangers S.P.D. joked about how Saban Brands had “dropped them like they’re hot”, and joked with other S.P.D. cast members about flying in to New Zealand anyways and just filming their own reunion.

We also know that Matt Austin who played Bridge the Green S.P.D. Power Ranger was not invited either. While the girls have yet to pipe in regarding their status, seeing as neither live in New Zealand, we just don’t think Saban Brands will have invited any of them to attend.

As for John Tui, (Doggie Kruger, the Shadow Ranger on Power Rangers S.P.D. and Daggeron the Solaris Knight on Power Rangers Mystic Force), we have yet to hear confirmation from him either way but will follow up when we do.

Power Rangers S.P.D. is a beloved season by many fans. What are your thoughts on Saban Brands choosing not to honor their season, or the fans of that season, in the 20th Anniversary “celebration” of Power Rangers Super Megaforce? DISCUSS!
