It seems the original choice for Ninja Steel Yellow has unfortunately left the show.
Actor Nico Greetham will be taking up the role of "Calvin." |

Chantz Simpson.
https://mobile.twitter.com/pbchantz/...65948096962560 And this Twitter post of his makes me think Yellow was recast to avoid another Trini situation. |

It's probably a personal problem, going by his twitter he was doing fine on set just over a week ago so something abrupt had to have turned up to make this change happen.

I hope it was nothing too severe or confrontational. Never good to have that kinda negativity.

Yes, he is. He's an Asian-Pacific Islander... which you'd know if you read the tweet GoseiWonder linked to.
I'm kind of bummed out, I was looking forward to the diversity of this team! There would have been three Asian men, a black woman, and a Latina woman. I guess I'm still pleased by the diversity, but it would have been pretty monumental if every one of the rangers was a person of color. |

for the record, Greetham is biracial (he is apparently half-Columbian).
So the Ninja Steel team is still a highly-diverse group, just not in the same way as we originally thought. |

Whatever the reason hope Chantz does well in his future endeavors and hope Nico does well as the new yellow ranger.
