Are you looking forward to the upcoming Power Rangers movie on Netflix?



https://www.justjared.com/2023/03/26/amy-jo-johnson-reacts-to-rumors-about-why-she-didnt-join-power-rangers-netflix-reunion-movie/
Amy Jo Johnson is speaking out.

The 52-year-old actress, who played the Pink Ranger in the original U.S. TV series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, spoke out following the news of the Power Rangers special, set to hit Netflix next month.

For the record, I never said noI just didnt say yes to what was offered, she clarified back in January.

However, now shes speaking out again to clear things up.

Please stop saying I didnt do reunion because of money. Simply not true. Maybe I just didnt want to wear spandex in my 50s Or couldnt go to NZ for a month. Or none of ur beeswax JDF & I both chose not to for our own reasons. They filmed before he passed. #PowerRangers, she wrote, referring to the late Jason David Frank.

Excited to see my pals @David_Yost & @Walterejones rock it though!! #PowerRangers, she added, inferring that theres no bad blood between her and the other original stars.

I think it's probably because two of the main actors are passed away now
Especially Tommy's who she probably was close to given their onscreen chemistry and relationship

Plus she was like 19 when she did it and didn't do much for PR after the series I thought

I don't know if its worship. Just people wanting to see their childhood heroes again. The concept of the movie is supposed to be a Power Rangers reunion

Nothing wrong with that. The issue is instead of her saying I wont be a part of it and people saying oh too bad but ok its I wont be part of it and then being like oh well it must be because of money! and other harassment-type nonsense which is what Im sure shes gotten, which prompted the tweet.

She very likely just isn't that into Power Rangers lol. She isn't beholden to the franchise

People who were in their 20s in the 90s are now in their 50s. I was a teen in the 90s and I am entering my 40s now

Time fucks us all

She says in her tweet listed above that it was filmed before JDF passed

She said that the filming took place before he passed, though, and neither she or he chose to participate.

That pic of her is from when she was 48? She could probably rock spandex at at 52.

From what I gathered she wasn't overtly interested in Power Ranger stuff anyway so it's whatever. Didn't know the actress for Trini was killed like 20 years ago though, that was upsetting to learn.

People should not be harassing her or anything if she didn't want to do it,so anyone who did that is an asshole. However she knows good and well that it sounds like it was money thing in the first comment. So I can see why people would assume that. But again even assuming that doesn't mean people should harass her.
