Everyone is well aware of the tweeted photos of Ciara Hanna (Yellow Ranger in Power Rangers Megaforce) and Jason Smith (Red Ranger in Power Rangers Jungle Fury). But now thanks to Fury Diamond and his blog at RangerCrew, we can shed more light on what exactly Jason Smith is doing in Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

Jason Smith, or Casey the Red Ranger in Power Rangers Jungle Fury, is going to have his own tribute episode in Power Rangers Super Megaforce. But more than that, Jason Smith is also now WRITING episodes in Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

That’s an interesting development – return for a tribute and stay on board to write some episodes. Jason Smith is a Power Rangers and Super Sentai fan, having watched GoBusters and the current Kyoryuger series in Japan.

What do you guys think? Is having a Power Rangers Alumni write episodes for Power Rangers a good thing? Discuss away!

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.
