The legendary Red Ranger is back.
After being rumored for a return back in May, Hasbro confirmed today during their San Diego Comic-Con presentation that Austin St. John will indeed reprise his role as Jason Lee Scott, the original Mighty Morphin Red Ranger, in an mega crossover episode of
Power Rangers: Beast Morphers next year.
The new trailer offers a first look at Jason back in action and reveals that the episode won't air until 2020 as part of the second season of
Beast Morphers. The team-up will see the
Mighty Morphin,
Dino Thunder and
Dino Charge teams partner up with the Beast Morphers to take on their most dangerous adversary yet. No word yet on whether any of the other original cast members will make their way back to the now Hasbro-owned series.
Jason originally debuted in
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers before leaving midway through the second season due to contract disputes. He later returned to play the fan-favorite Gold Ranger in
Power Rangers Zeo and also appeared in
Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie before making his last appearance in the
Power Rangers Wild Force ten-year anniversary episode, "Forever Red."
Scientists combine a substance called “Morph-X” with animal DNA to create the Power Rangers Beast Morphers. The Rangers must fight off an evil computer virus bent on taking over the source of Ranger power, the Morphin Grid.
