As seen in the trailer, Once & Always brings back Ranger Legends like David Yost (Billy) and Walter Emanuel Jones (Zack), Johnny Yong Bosch (Adam), Steve Cardenas (Rocky), Karan Ashley (Aisha), and Catherine Sutherland (Kat). They will also be joined by a new addition to the franchise Charlie Kersh, who will be playing the daughter of Trini. We also see what brings her into the Ranger fold in this new trailer, which is sure to get a reaction from longtime fans.
In an interview with EW, Yost talked about being back on the Power Rangers set with Jones. “We went through the audition process together and launched the Power Rangers franchise,” and added their reunion was “amazing. It was such a surreal experience to be on the set of Power Rangers again after 28 years.”
We also see plenty of action in the trailer as well as Ford footage, and we even get a glimpse of the Command Center, Alpha, and more. Robotic Rita Repulsa is definitely something to behold, and you can watch the whole trailer in the video above. You can find the official synopsis for Once & Always below.
“The Rangers come face to face with a familiar threat from the past. In the midst of a global crisis, they are called on once again to be the heroes the world needs. Inspired by the legendary mantra from the franchise ‘Once a Ranger, Always a Ranger,’ Once & Always reminds everyone when you become a Ranger, you are always a part of the Ranger family and always welcome.”
Season 2 of Dino Fury is available on Netflix now, and Cosmic Fury is slated to hit in 2023. Once & Always will hit Netflix on April 19th. Are you excited for the 30th Anniversary? Let us know in the comments and as always you can talk all things Power Rangers with me on Twitter @MattAguilarCB!
