David Yost Returns to POWER RANGERS This September
Recently, Hasbro announced that Power Rangers Cosmic Fury will premiere on Netflix on September 29. However, that’s not the only news to get fans hyped for Cosmic Fury. We also got to see the new opening credits complete with the new theme song by Bert Selen. There are a lot of notes for fans to take from this video alone. First, the song is pretty fun. It definitely has the same musical DNA as the intro from Dino Fury, including some of the same lines, but I like how it broke away from the constant use of “Go Go Power Rangers!” and gave us some actual words. It reminded me of some of the original theme songs.
There’s another huge reveal in the video though. David Yost will be returning to Power Rangers for Cosmic Fury as Billy Cranston! We don’t know all the details about what Billy’s role will be, but Hasbro did share this description:
In the beginning of season 30, Billy, the MMPR Blue Triceratops Ranger, joins the Dino Fury Rangers in fighting back against the gravest threat the universe has known. Ever the tech genius and master of logic, Billy’s help is crucial to the Rangers in their battle against Lord Zedd. Billy’s expertise shines as the team rallies to fend off both a galactic invasion and the potential undoing of all the good that came from the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers team.
That’s right, Lord Zedd is also returning. It appears to me that Billy will take on the role of mentor for the Cosmic Fury Rangers, but it also looks like he may help them on the battlefield a bit and morph into the Blue Ranger. Given Billy’s history in space, I think this is a very exciting prospect. I think it’d be really cool if we got some cameos this season from the In Space, Lost Galaxy, and Alien Rangers. It would make a lot of sense if you ask me, but I can also see how that might be difficult. Here’s the official logline:
Lord Zedd has escaped, and this time his rampage extends to the farthest reaches of space! The Rangers need to find new Zords and new powers to face Zedd’s latest threat, and they won’t do so alone. Joined by some familiar faces, they will discover the power of the Cosmic Orbs and become the Cosmic Fury Rangers, armed with new uniforms, new weapons, and an entirely new fleet of Zords! Go Go, Power Rangers!
Joining Yost are the returning cast from Dino Fury. We have Russell Curry as Zayto, Hunter Deno as Amelia Jones, Kai Moya as Ollie Akana, Tessa Rao as Izzy Garcia, Chance Perez as Javi Garcia, Jordan Fite as Aiyon, and Jacqueline Joe as Fern. Simon Bennett serves as Executive Producer. I’ve got to hurry and get caught up!
