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!

Our friends over at Rangercrew have revealed the title for the Power Rangers Megaforce Christmas special, which is due to air sometime in December. The episode will be titled “The Robo Knight Before Christmas”, however no further details than that are currently available.

Will this episode see Robo Knight learn the value of Christmas? Will Gosei’s command centre be filled with singing children just like Zordon’s was nearly 20 years ago? Or will this just be another clip show episode? Speculate away!

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!

Time has come once again for the Tokusatsu double-bill summer movie(s)!

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!

Awhile back we had shared the news from our friends over at RangerCrew.com that had cited credible anonymous sources that Cameron Jebo would play the part of the Megaforce Silver Ranger, though Cameron Jebo would later deny it.

That, my friends, is the power of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). It makes liars out of people. Nightmere10 from RangerCrew.com’s forums found two pictures of filming from Power Rangers Super Megaforce – one that includes a behind-shot of Cameron Jebo with Christina Masterson (Emma, Pink Ranger). The other has his headshot, along with that of Christina Masterson (Emma, Pink Ranger) in an office. We’ve mirrored those pictures here in this news story.

We’ve already seen Gokai Silver/Megaforce Silver in-suit and in-action on set, and now we have picture-proof of our actor (true, he’s not in spandex, but come on, he’s wearing gray!).

Let’s keep the rumor-train rolling!

Recently, our good friends at RangerCrew.com posted on their Facebook account that the casting department for Power Rangers was looking for Austin St. John, or as his real name is, Jason Geiger. Is this because they want him to reprise the role of Jason Scott, the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger and Zeo Gold Ranger?

Can you even HAVE an anniversary celebration season without the original Red Ranger? What do you guys think? Share your thoughts and, if you have any intimiate details of his location, let our friends at RangerCrew.com know so they can pass word along!

GO GO POWER RANGERS!

With Power Rangers Megaforce currently on an airing hiatus, we’ve decided to throw up some of the rumors as they gain credibility regarding the anniversary portion of the Power Rangers Megaforce show, the second season known as Power Rangers Super Megaforce!

Blake Foster, the only child Power Ranger to ever wear spandex as the Blue Turbo Power Ranger, tweeted back on April 21st that he was headed to New Zealand. Why is that worth mentioning? Power Rangers is filmed in New Zealand. To add to the speculation, the hashtags #justinstewart (the name of his character from Power Rangers Turbo), #spandexshape (the suits are spandex or spandex-ish), and #bluecrew (he played the Blue Ranger), were included in his tweet.

What do you guys think? Would it be cool to see Justin Stewart, the Blue Turbo Power Ranger, all grown-up as a cameo appearance in Power Rangers Super Megaforce?
