Billy and Jason formed quite a bond in Power Rangers. With the introduction of the Green Ranger looming, however, would that bond ever break?

Blue Ranger Actor RJ Cyler sat down with ComicBook.com to chat about the film, including how Billy would react to the sudden inclusion of a new Ranger.
“Billy is never that person to be like, “Oh, get away!”, right? But, it’s almost like if my friends are cool with it, I’m cool with it. It’s like a loyalty thing. So, Tommy Oliver could come in and respectively be at the same level as Jason in everybody else’s eyes. But to Billy, Jason is the one that started it. In Billy’s mind, right? It’s like, okay, me and Jason’s friendship started first. So, okay I’m loyal to Jason. We can be friends, Tommy, you know what I’m saying? We can be Rangers, right? But, our leader is that dude right there in the red.”
Tommy is often looked at as a second in command and at various times even the leader of the team. Billy’s fine with that to a point, but wouldn’t let it go to Tommy’s head.
“Billy would definitely take him in as another brother, but definitely would always make sure that loyalty stays to the regular four. It’s like, okay, I’m not going to be mean to you, but just remember who was there first. Know your place, man!”
Many are interested to see a sequel happen after the tease at the end of the credits, where a varsity jacket is seen and the teacher is calling out for a Tommy Oliver on the roster. Hopefully, it happens sooner rather than later.
