Trini actress Becky G brought the Yellow Ranger to life in Power Rangers, and she took some time to talk to ComicBook.com about the heartfelt reason she would love to work with RJ Cyler’s Blue Ranger in the sequel.
“I would love to do something more with the Blue Ranger Billy. What RJ did with that character and watching him make decisions for this character was very special for me, because I myself am a big sister of my brother Alex who was diagnosed with Autism when he was about two years old.”
Autism hasn’t been that well represented in the movie world, nonetheless the superhero one. Giving Alex someone he can immediately relate to is an amazing thing, and only helped to strengthen her love of Billy’s character.
“And to know that there is a superhero now that represents him in such great light so authentically, it was just amazing, you know? And I felt like in real life I felt such a connection to Billy’s character and so when in the movie you know when things take a turn and all that’s at stake. You know, Angel Grove and saving Billy. I was so emotional, like too emotional.”
That emotional investment caused some genuine tears, causing the need for some additional takes.
“Like, Dean was like, “All right Becky, the waterworks, you gotta kind of tone those down a little bit.” And it’s like, “You don’t understand!” So, I was very, very invested as a fan with Billy’s character.”
