Some interesting new information about the upcoming series Power Rangers Ninja Steel has been posted online.
Unfortunately, it seems original Ninja Steel Yellow Ranger actor Chantz Simpson has left the series for undisclosed reasons. The role of Yellow Ranger will now be played by actor Nico Greetham!
We welcome Mr. Greetham to the Power Rangers family & we wish Mr. Simpson best of luck to all future endeavors.
Power Rangers Ninja Steel is still on track to begin in January 2017! Stay tuned to TokuNation for all Ninja Steel News!
It seems the original choice for Ninja Steel Yellow has unfortunately left the show.
Actor Nico Greetham will be taking up the role of "Calvin."
Recasting hmmm? Can't wait to see the new season.
Calvin is now a blond white guy?
Who was the original choice?

And this Twitter post of his makes me think Yellow was recast to avoid another Trini situation.

It's probably a personal problem, going by his twitter he was doing fine on set just over a week ago so something abrupt had to have turned up to make this change happen.
I hope it was nothing too severe or confrontational. Never good to have that kinda negativity.
I'm kind of bummed out, I was looking forward to the diversity of this team! There would have been three Asian men, a black woman, and a Latina woman. I guess I'm still pleased by the diversity, but it would have been pretty monumental if every one of the rangers was a person of color.
for the record, Greetham is biracial (he is apparently half-Columbian).
So the Ninja Steel team is still a highly-diverse group, just not in the same way as we originally thought.
Whatever the reason hope Chantz does well in his future endeavors and hope Nico does well as the new yellow ranger.
