Those comments were interpreted by some to mean she wasn't offered enough money to do the movie -- but now, she's saying that's not the case."Please stop saying I didn't do reunion because of money," she tweeted out on Sunday,"Simply not true."
"Maybe I just didn't want to wear spandex in my 50s or couldn't go to NZ for a month. Or none of ur beeswax," she added. Johnson went on to confirm that fellow former Ranger Jason David Frank also turned down the movie, saying it was filmedin November 2022."JDG & I both chose not to for our own reasons," she added -- before reiterating she was"Excited to see my pals @David_Yost & @Walterejones rock it though!!"
"Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always" also includes Catherine Sutherland , Steve Cardenas , Karan Ashley and Johnny Yong Bosch , as they face off against a robot Rita Repulsa. In the film, it appears Rita is responsible for the death of the original Yellow Ranger, Trini Kwan. The character was played by Thuy Tran on the series, though she left the show and tragically died in a car accident in 2001. The character's daughter will have a role in the movie.
