Even though the source material for the upcoming Power Rangers Super Megaforce showcased what would be the Power Rangers Ninja Storm fighting against, and then alongside the Power Rangers Super Megaforce, it seems that Jonathan Tzachor and the production crew of Power Rangers Super Megaforce are going to go a different route, as it was discovered today that neither Pua Magasiva (Shane the Red Wind Power Ranger of Power Rangers Ninja Storm) or Jason Chan (Cam the Green Samurai Power Ranger of Power Rangers Ninja Storm) were offered invitations to return for Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

Pua Magasiva tweeted his lack of an invitation today, while our friend Fury Diamond of RangerCrew.com was kind enough to let us know that Jason Chan was also not invited.

The most curious part about this revelation is just exactly how Super Megaforce will introduce one of the latter Megazords, as the source footage involved the three Wind Power Rangers of Power Rangers Ninja Storm with the Power Rangers Super Megaforce (Gokaigers, technically).

What are your thoughts and feelings regarding the lack of these two great Power Rangers? How is Jonathan Tzachor planning to utilize the footage? Or does this mean we won’t even get the Megazord in question that won’t be named for those not wishing to be spoiled entirely?

This is a day of heart-breaks for many Power Rangers fans as the bad news just continues and continues.

David de Lautour, who played R.J. the Purple Wolf Ranger in Power Rangers Jungle Fury was not invited for a role in Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

One of his counter-parts however, Jason Smith (who played Casey the Red Jungle Fury Ranger), has been spotted on-set and in many Instagram photos with Ciara Hannah, the Yellow Megaforce Ranger.

R.J. was one of the more popular Power Rangers from the Disney era, and especially on Power Rangers Jungle Fury. What are your thoughts about him being left out? Discuss!

For fans of Power Rangers Zeo, it was interesting to see that the mysterious Gold Ranger was an alien being that split in to three separate entities. The actors behind it are actually identical triplets – Tim, Ted, and Tommy DiFilippo. They played the physical body of Trey of Triforia while Brad Hawkins (VR Troopers) played the voice.

Our good friend Fury Diamond at RangerCrew.com let everyone know that the DiFilippo triplets did NOT receive an invitation from Saban Brands to return for Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

Considering Rhett Fisher, the Titanium Ranger from Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue, had his invite rescinded, it shouldn’t come as any surprise that these three were not coming, but it is a little shocking that they didn’t even receive an invitation. They have had a renewed popularity after their appearance at last year’s Power Morphicon.

Sad news for those hoping that Jen, the Pink Ranger from Power Rangers Time Force, would be returning for a cameo in the upcoming Power Rangers Super Megaforce season.

Close friend of Erin Cahill, kalenabear posted the following message at our friends at RangerBoard:

Hung out with Erin (Jen, PRTF) last night and she confirmed that she’ll be out of the country in the last two weeks of May (not in NZ), which is when Super Megaforce would be filming the cameos, per Fury’s message. Then Erin sent me this today, referring to Tokunation’s article,
http://www.tokunation.com/showthread.php?t=43499:

“So, a friend just sent me the article below.
Oh no! I don’t want fans to be upset with me!
I TRULY want to do it, but the show is not Union anymore. The bottom line is I can’t risk union status to do it. :-(. I have been so sad over not being able to. How can I reach out to my fans and let them know?
Xoxo
~E~”

We are saddened to know that one of our favorite Pink Rangers will not be returning for Power Rangers Super Megaforce, but we wish Erin Cahill all the best in her continued and storied career!

Without actually coming out and saying it, Jason David Frank posted a picture on his Instagram of the Power Rangers Megaforce logo. As you may remember from an earlier story, Jason David Frank cancelled his upcoming appearance at Puerto Rico Comic Con 2013, citing an important project out of the country that he couldn’t miss. The dates for Puerto Rico Comic Con 2013 are the same for the Super Megaforce cameo filming dates.

So we’re going to go ahead and call this CONFIRMED – Jason David Frank to Appear in Super Megaforce!

For those following the developments of returning cast of previous years for Power Rangers Super Megaforce, you may remember Karan Ashley stating that all previous actors and actresses had received a generic E-mail invitation, nothing personalized, about returning to the show for the 20th Anniversary.

Thanks to Fury Diamond, a copy of said E-mail is now available for all of us to read. What’s enlightening about the E-mail is that Saban Brands states that there was no intention in pre-production to include any veteran Rangers for Super Megaforce. The E-mail continues to try to influence the past actors to return “for your fans”, and states that compensation would be very little in an individual basis.

We are complying to the request of Fury Diamond not to re-post the E-mail here, and are instead giving you a direct link to said E-mail.

What do you guys think? Given the recent backlash aimed at Saban Brands and Jonathan Tzachor by fans for what they feel is them being cheated by what Saban Brands stated would be the “most expensive” season ever at the last Power Morphicon, do you side with the actors refusing to show up because of the lack of compensation? Do you think production is being too cheap? Or do you think some of the actors could spare a four day expenditure to New Zealand for the sake of the fans?

A lot to discuss, so let’s get to it!

You know it was only a matter of time.

Jason David Frank, who you know best as Tommy Oliver the Green Ranger and White Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the Red Ranger in Power Rangers Zeo and Power Rangers Turbo, and finally the Black Ranger in Power Rangers Dino Thunder. Today, Jason David Frank, or JDF, posted the following video on his official Facebook page:

The video, entitled “What’s Next Tommy Oliver?”, showcases the Rangers that JDF has been. To top it off, JDF also posted the following regarding his upcoming appearance at Puerto Rico Comic Con 2013:

To all my Fans,
I’m sorry to inform you that I will not be able to attend Puerto Rico Comic Con 2013. Although I enjoyed my time in last year’s event and planned on meeting more of my fans this year, due to circumstances beyond my control, I will not be able to attend. It was a very difficult decision, however, I have decided to partake in a new filming project out of the country that interferes with the event. This is a very important project that I cannot miss.
I am saddened that I will miss the opportunity to meet all my fans because they are very important to me. I hate to cancel any event and disappoint them. I deeply apologize to all my fans that are planning to meet me at Puerto Rico Comic Con, but I am hoping that I will be able to return on a future date to meet with you all.
Again, I am sorry for any inconvenience.

Sincerely,

Jason David Frank

Call me crazy but I’m pretty sure this is JDF telling us he’s now involved in Power Rangers Super Megaforce!

(Maybe he can pick up Rhett Fisher on the way?)

What do you guys think? Happy that JDF is returning to Power Rangers? Or are you sick of the series continually going back to Tommy? Voice up your thoughts and opinions! DISCUSS!

This just in from Jetbolt at our sister site of TFW2005.com!

Rhett Fisher, better known as Ryan the Titanium Ranger in Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue, was invited for a cameo role in the upcoming Power Rangers Super Megaforce season. However, due to apparent budget constraints, Saban Brands rescinded their invitation, and Rhett Fisher will no longer be appearing in Super Megaforce.

We got this from his official tweet:

Guess who was invited to do a cameo on PR Megaforce and then un-invited the next week because of budget restrictions. #majorletdown#titanium

This is a devastating blow to a lot of Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue fans, as the Titanium Ranger was the first USA-exclusive Power Ranger, and many wondered if the suit would make an appearance in Super Megaforce. Since the actor was uninvited, it leads us to believe the suit no longer exists.

How does this strike you? Did you want Rhett Fisher to be part of Super Megaforce? Could you care less? What’s this say about Saban Brands and just how far, or how little, they’re interested in going for this upcoming anniversary season?

DISCUSS!
