Another rumor to take with a grain of salt but this comes from an individual with ties to the professional side of Erin Cahill and her career.

kalenabear from Rangerboard.com shared some information regarding the possibility of Erin Cahill, who played Jen the Pink Ranger from Power Rangers Time Force, and the possibility of her making an appearance in Power Rangers Super Megaforce:

I did not hear from the direct source yet (meeting up next week!), but another TF ranger will likely not be returning for the same reasons as Cardenas. She was only offered to be in one scene, so it wouldn’t have been worth the time & money. I think E is also filming a small indie film this month. But who knows, Faunt may pull her into it. Again, I’m just hearing this from management!

So there you have it. After a few days of promising possibilities of favorites returning, two days in a row of a confirmed rejection (Steve Cardenas) and now a rumored rejection (Erin Cahill).

What do you guys think? Can Jason Faunt talk Erin Cahill in to showing up for a scene? Do you even want Erin Cahill to appear? Are you heart-broken that she may not? Voice your thoughts!

Sad news for those hoping to see the return of Rocky, who played the second Red Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and the Blue Ranger in Power Rangers Zeo.

On his personal Facebook, Steve Cardenas posted the following:

The offer was too low and there’s not a lot of character development. Just basically going to be in the background as an extra. I would’ve loved to do it but I could possibly take that amount of time away from my business for that little amount of money. I’m sorry but I believe that it’s them that’s letting the fans down because they want to get away with paying too little. I hope you understand.

The message was posted here.

What do you guys think? Is Steve Cardenas in the right for rejecting to appear for a cameo appearance? Or is he letting the fans down by wanting more money than Saban Brands was willing to offer? Let us know!

Thanks to raz for the heads up!

It’s important to emphasize that this is FAN-MADE but it’s just too cool NOT to share with everyone. With all the rumors of past cast members returning, it’s never too early to start the hype machine and get pumped up! Check out the video below!

Special thanks to botmarley for showing us this video, and to YouTube user Riderdecade2020 for uploading (and creating?) it!

It seems everyday we have new information to share about possible cast appearing in Power Rangers Super Megaforce! We only post things when we have a solid lead that it’s a possibility … we know that Saban Brands has contacted many past actors, but we only post the rumors of people returning when they drop hints.

This is another instance of a possible hint.

Jason Faunt who played Wes the Red Ranger in Power Rangers Time Force posted on his personal Facebook about the locations he was headed to for work. He mentioned Detroit. He also mentioned New Zealand and laughed about living out of hotels for awhile.

Is Jason Faunt headed to New Zealand to appear in a cameo for Power Rangers Super Megaforce? What do you think? Do you want Wes to return? Share your thoughts!

There’s bound to be some contraversy on this one. Samuell Benta, who played the Black Ranger known as Will in Power Rangers Operation Overdrive left a mysterious tweet the other day that has many believing he’s been contacted to return for a cameo in Power Rangers Super Megaforce. The tweet is as follows:

Hmmmmm a certain show has requested that i come back…. What could it be….

Now, to the contraversy surrounding Samuell Benta and why so many, including myself, wish he’d stay as far away from Power Rangers as possible.

The first Power Morphicon was a huge success, hence why it’s returned every other year since then. The entire cast of Power Rangers Operation Overdrive was in attendance. There were four official banners that all the guests signed and were going to be auctioned off on eBay with the earnings donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Samuell Benta (allegedly) took one of the banners and, on his own without the assistance of staff, went about getting signatures from all the guests. Upon the closing ceremonies of Power Morphicon, the organizers asked Benta for the banner – Benta refused to return the banner, stating he was going to keep it for himself as a souvenir from the convention. That’s right – he willingly chose to keep a banner meant to be auctioned off for sick and dying children. He admitted that he had it, that he took it, and that he was keeping it. He knew that it was going to be auctioned off for charity but still chose to keep it for his own personal collection.

So Power Rangers fans, do you want Samuell Benta to return for the anniversary season of Power Rangers Super Megaforce? Let us know!

 

UPDATE 02/26/2020
Samuell Benta has released a YouTube video stating that he never took a banner meant for children – that in fact he set it down and a fan must have taken it.

We have our first official confirmation!

Najee De-Tiege, the actor who played Kevin the Blue Ranger in both Power Rangers Samurai and Power Rangers Super Samurai tweeted today that he is returning for a “few episodes” in Power Rangers Super Megaforce, the 20th Anniversary celebration season of Power Rangers. The tweet reads as follows:

Its a Official Saban Brands Contacted me & my Cast to come back 2 NewZealand, & Film Some Power Rangers Episodes!..

The tweet specifically states “me and my cast”, which in this writer’s opinion means that the base cast of Power Rangers Samurai has been contacted to return for some episodes of Super Megaforce (base cast meaning no Gold Ranger, no female Red Ranger). I could be wrong, though Steven Skyler, who played Antonio the Gold Ranger in Power Rangers Samurai recently spoke to convention attendees and mentioned he had heard nothing about Megaforce.

What are your feelings about Kevin and possibly the other Power Rangers Samurai returning for Power Rangers Super Megaforce?

Thanks to Mr. Yellow for the heads up!

Okay, I admit to this one being a stretch, but the picture makes you think. We know from our friends via RangerCrew.com that the casting department of Power Rangers has reached out to a number of veteran actors and actresses from the “Saban-era” of Power Rangers (Mighty Morphin, Zeo, Turbo, In Space, Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, Wild Force). We know that Blake Foster, who played Justin Stewart the Blue Ranger in Power Rangers Turbo was getting in shape for something, then flew off to New Zealand.

So here’s a picture of Christopher Khaymen Lee. You know him best as Andros, the Red Ranger in Power Rangers In Space. So what’s the big deal? Well, Lee is one of the more recluse former Ranger actors, and only recently was on an episode of the No Pink Spandex Power Rangers podcast. He wasn’t forthcoming on whether or not he had been contacted for Super Megaforce, but seemed open to coming back for an episode or two.

So then this picture shows up. Christopher Khaymen Lee holding a In Space Red Ranger card, and seemingly in very fit shape. Oh, and with long hair to boot. Does this mean he’s hinting that he’s coming back? Do you want to see Andros make a return in Power Rangers Super Megaforce?

One of the more burning questions regarding the upcoming Power Rangers Super Megaforce season was how exactly they were going to incorporate the Gokai Galleon, which served as both the base of operations for the Gokaigers as well as their main Megazord, the GokaiOh Megazord.

Thanks to MrYellow via Instagram, the picture attached to this news article shows that the crew in New Zealand has reconstructed some of the pieces of the exterior of the Gokai Galleon for footage purposes. Does this mean that our heroes will be soaring above the city in the Gokai Galleon?

What do you think? How should Saban incorporate the Gokai Galleon in to Power Rangers Super Megaforce?

Special thanks to raz for the heads up!

More rumors for Power Rangers Super Megaforce!

Roger Velasco, who played Carlos the second Green Turbo Ranger and the Black In Space Ranger posted on Facebook a few days ago the following statement:

“Black is back! It’s where its @…”

As we’ve stated previously, he played the role of Carlos the Black Ranger from Power Rangers In Space. With our friends at RangerCrew.com stating that most of the Saban-era (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers thru Power Rangers Wild Force) cast had been contacted about their availability, does this mean that we’re going to get the return of Carlos for a Power Rangers In Space tribute?

What do you guys think? Do you want to see Carlos return for Power Rangers Super Megaforce? Voice up your thoughts!

Jason David Frank, or as you may remember him better, Tommy Oliver the Mighty Morphin Green and White Ranger, the Red Zeo Ranger, the Red Turbo Ranger, and the Dino Thunder Black Ranger – is in attendance at this year’s Chicago ComicCon and IGN was in attendance to record anything and everything Frank had to say.

When asked about returning for Power Rangers Super Megaforce, Jason David Frank said the following:

“I would do it for $1. I do it for you guys, I don’t care about the money.”

When pressed on whether or not he was doing it or not, Frank said that the Green Ranger would be in the show in costume, but couldn’t say whether or not he himself would be in the show.

Jason David Frank also added a few more tidbits – he’s spent a year filming a documentary titled My Morphin’ Life. There’s also plans for a 20th Anniversary Mighty Morphin Power Rangers celebration, and that more details would be revealed soon, but that it celebrates the original show.

Do you want Jason David Frank to return as Dr. Tommy Oliver in Power Rangers Super Megaforce? And what are your thoughts about his upcoming documentary, or the planned celebration for the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers? Share your thoughts with us!
