‘Power Rangers’ Rumor Reveals Early Casting for New Disney+ Series

Disney+ is bringing back Power Rangers, and rumors are circulating about who might be cast in the new series. It was announced late last year that the team behind the Percy Jackson and the Olympians show will be rebooting the popular ’90s franchise, and now fans are getting a glimpse of the actors Disney is considering.

Sources say Disney is considering several actors for the main roles in the new Power Rangers series. These include Shaun Dixon, known for his work on the Disney Channel’s Vampirina, and Judd Goodstein, who appeared in You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah. Momona Tamada, recently seen as Ty Lee in Netflix’s live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender, is also a potential cast member, with more appearances expected later this year. Rounding out the potential leads are Kira McLean, who has credits in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, and Christian Alexander Cruz, with several short films, including High Strung, to his name.

Disney+ is developing a new Power Rangers series with Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz, the team behind the Percy Jackson show. Though casting and specific details are still under wraps, the creators are aiming to revitalize the ’90s franchise. It’s unknown whether this series will connect to previous Power Rangers shows or movies, but it promises to be a large-scale adaptation – something fans haven’t seen since the 2017 film, which didn’t lead to further movies.

Shotz didn’t offer many details about Power Rangers, avoiding direct answers about whether the new show would continue the existing storyline or be a fresh start. However, Disney+ clearly plans to move forward with a Power Rangers series, though they haven’t made an official announcement yet.

I’m not able to answer those questions, but we’re definitely hoping to develop that story further. That’s all I can share right now.
