Although we ’ve had a few glimpse here and there , today Netflix gave us our first proper good spirit atPower fire warden : Once and Always , a young reunification particular to celebrate 30 years of adolescent with posture andbrightly colored Spandex . But here ’s the surprising thing : not only does it depend extremely good , it look like it ’s go to hit hardfor MMPR fan .
The new drone sees the Mighty Morphin ’ team band together once moreas Rita Repulsa returnsto wreak mayhem on earth — this meter in a robot consistency of her usual witchy getup . But with elevate powers it looks like Once and Always will see the Rangers suffer a major casualty , as Rita be active to move around back in meter to the very first instalment of the franchise and kill the Rangers before they even screw they were themost famous squad of technicolor morphersaround .
That major loss appear to be theoriginal Yellow Ranger , Trini Kwan , seemingly killed when an onslaught from Rita blast the side of a cliff . Trini ’s actress , Thuy Trang , tragically died in a machine accident in 2001 , so to see Power Rangers actually treat it in - universe is touching , specially as it ’s seeminglycarrying on Trini ’s legacyin giving her a daughter , Minh , play by Charlie Kersh . But as Rita plans for chaos , Billy ( David Yost ) and Zack ( Walter Jones ) find themselves teaming up with Rocky ( Steve Cardenas)—the second MMPR Red Ranger , in all probability due to the fact that Austin St. John could not recapitulate his role as Jason while being investigate for covid put-on — and Kat ( Catherine Sutherland)—the second MMPR Pink Ranger , stepping in afterAmy Jo Johnson publicly revealedthat she declined to devolve — to save the day .

They ’re not the only familiar faces in the trailer , either — we get to see Alpha-5 yucking it up in the Command Center , and even the 2d Yellow and Black Rangers , Aisha ( Karan Ashley ) and Adam ( Johnny Yong Bosch ) , make a brief show , now having sign on up with the S.P.D .. And of course , the original Megazordis back in ( electronic computer generated , it seems ) action !
But for as fun and nostalgic as it all looks , Once and Always take on Thuy Trang ’s death in this way raises doubtfulness as to just how the special will approachthe late passingofJason David Frank , who encounter theoriginal Green Ranger , Tommy Oliver . The Green Ranger makes a fleeting appearing in the trailer fighting alongside the rest of the squad , but it currently remains to be seen just how it will acknowledge a festivity of everything Mighty Morphin ’ Power Rangers was , with the loss of one of its most stalwart champions . Either fashion , Ranger fans better be make for a bittersweet mite to all the action .
great power Ranger : Once and Always will debut on Netflix April 19 .
