Furthermore, Chinese actor Ludi Lin will play Black Ranger, Zachary (Zack) Taylor, while Becky Gomez, also known as YouTube star Becky G, will play the Yellow Ranger, Trini Kwan, reported Lawyer Herald.

The "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" reboot will be directed by Dean Israelite and produced by Brian Casentini, Wyck Godfrey, Haim Saban and Allison Shearmur. Zack Stentz and Ashley Miller are working as the scriptwriters.

"Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" is an upcoming remake of the popular children's television series that ran from 1993 to 1995.
