The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers united once again in 2017 to do battle with a series of weird and wonderful monsters. Though the series has been on air (in 24 different iterations, from Zeo to Time Force to Dino Super Charge) since 1993, this new incarnation was a big-budget reboot from the team behind Twilight, The Hunger Games and Divergent.

The original (and best!) Power Rangers cast reunited for the reboot's premiere (well, Red, Blue, Black and Green, anyway).

But what have our heroes of the early '90s been up to in the meantime? Digital Spy finds out what happened to the all-action sextet below.

1. David Yost (Blue Ranger/Billy Cranston)

David Yost landed the role of Blue Ranger Billy Cranston just three months after moving to California in 1993. His character was actually named after that Bryan Cranston, who was then doing voice work for Power Rangers producer Haim Saban before his big break in...er... The X-Files.

Yost appeared in more than 200 episodes of Power Rangers, making him the Ranger with the most original series appearances under his belt, staying on the show as it transitioned to Power Rangers Zeo.

Post-Rangers, he appeared in the movie Ladykiller and a handful of made-for-TV films both in front of and behind the camera (including as a producer on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills). Yost was having a turbulent time in his personal life at the time, experiencing a nervous breakdown and undergoing conversion therapy for homosexuality after years of on-set bullying. Luckily, he eventually came to terms with himself and became a campaigner for NOH8, which promotes and advocates for LGBTQ+ equality.

2. Austin St John (Red Ranger/Jason Lee Scott)

As Red Ranger Jason Lee Scott, Austin St John was the original leader of the Power Rangers despite being the youngest member of the cast when the show debuted.

He put his skills in taekwondo, judo and kenpo to good use in the role, but left midway through the second season after a dispute over pay. St John returned to the series as the Gold Ranger in Power Rangers Zeo and had a brief cameo in the second movie.

St John now works for the emergency services around Washington DC, but came out of Rangers retirement to attend Power Morphicon in 2014.

3. Amy Jo Johnson (Pink Ranger/Kimberly Ann Hart)

Pink Ranger Kim was played by Amy Jo Johnson during Mighty Morphin Power Rangers' initial run. An accomplished gymnast, this came in handy for the high-kicking action scenes.

She departed the role in 1995 (briefly returning for 1997 movie Turbo) and went on to appear in the Keri Russell/JJ Abrams show Felicity and guest on shows such as ER and Spin City. More recently, Johnson appeared as a lead in Canadian-produced cop show Flashpoint, which ran from 2008 to 2012, and in 2017 she wrote and produced a movie called The Space Between, funded via an Indiegogo campaign.

A talented singer, Amy Jo also has three studio albums under her belt, as well as having been spotted busking in her Pink Ranger outfit in 2014 – allegedly thanks to a dare from her old castmate Yost.

4. Walter Emanuel Jones (Black Ranger/Zack Taylor)

The original Black Ranger, Walter Emanuel Jones spent a season-and-a-half playing Zack Taylor before finding himself replaced by Johnny Yong Bosch after a contract dispute. Jones provided voices on the show, too, lending his vocal talents to many villains and monsters.

Following his departure as the Black Ranger, he returned to the series on two occasions as a voice performer and landed guest roles on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, NYPD Blue and The Shield, as well a glamorous cameo as "Locker Zombie" in the House of the Dead 2 film and a guest appearance in Andy Samberg's music mockumentary Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping.

His voiceover work includes Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 and video game Red Dead Redemption.

5. Jason David Frank (Green Ranger/Tommy Oliver)

The granddaddy of the Power Rangers universe, martial artist Jason David Frank made the transition to acting when he won the role of Green Ranger Tommy Oliver after initially trying out for the part of the Red Ranger in the pilot.

After the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series wrapped he continued in the role (evolving to White Ranger, Red Zeo Ranger, Red Turbo Ranger and Black DinoThunder Ranger) across several different Power Rangers shows and movies.

As well as continuing to excel in martial arts (he is a 7th dan black belt in karate and purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu), Frank is still strongly tied to the Power Rangers franchise, lasting rocking up in Power Rangers Megaforce – which believe it or not is the 20th incarnation of the show.

He had a cameo in the movie, and was actually thrown out of the premiere after trying to video the audience's response to his appearance.

6. Thuy Trang (Yellow Ranger/Trini Kwan)

SCG Power Rangers

Thuy Trang's family fled from Vietnam in the mid-'70s to start a new life in the United States, and after an early acting career in commercials she landed the role of Yellow Ranger Trini Kwan in 1993. She spent one-and-a-half seasons on the show before leaving at the same time as Austin St John and Walter Emanuel Jones.

Roles in The Crow: City of Angels and Spy Hard followed, but Trang tragically died in a car accident in 2001. Her Power Rangers co-stars Amy Jo Johnson, Austin St John, David Yost and Walter Emanuel Jones all attended her funeral.

7. David J Fielding (Zordon)

The giant floating head that dished out missions to the Power Rangers was that of David J Fielding, whose main credits include some video game voice acting on some properties you've probably never heard of.

He returned to the Power Rangers world last year to voice King Mondo in the origin story of his original character, Zordon of Eltar.

Judging by his Twitter profile @Zordon2012 , he has fully embraced his past in the show. Check it out for Power Rangers updates and more general affirmations than you can shake a stick at.

8. Richard Steven Horvitz (Alpha 5)

Credited as "Richard Hood" in the show, Horvitz appeared in even more episodes than Yost as the perky robot.

Compared to many of his colleagues, his IMDB page is bursting with roles, many voice work in animation and video games including Ben 10, Invader Zim, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, The Angry Beavers, Halo and World of Warcraft, as well as various Studio Ghibli dubs.

In live-action, he had some small roles in Babylon 5 and Sabrina the Teenage Witch, but doesn't seem to have been invited back to Power Rangers recently. Ay ay ay ay ay.

9. Machiko Soga (Rita Repulsa)

SCG Power Rangers

The Power Rangers' first and most recognisable villain was actually dubbed over from the Super Sentai show on which it was based. Japanese actress Machiko Soga portrayed the villain Bandora in Super Sentai, and the footage of her was used by the American show.

Her last role was in the PS2 video game The Space Sheriff Spirits in 2006, shortly after which she died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 68.

Footage of her was used to portray a reformed Rita in Power Rangers: Mystic Force in honour of the actress's place in Power Rangers history.

10 & 11. Paul Schrier and Jason Narvy (Bulk and Skull)

Two more Power Rangers perennials were the inept bullies Bulk and Skull, both of whom were seen as recently as Power Rangers Samurai in 2012, and to be honest their film and TV work hasn't gone much further than that.

Schrier is also an artist, having worked on the Image Comics series The Red Star, set around a USSR-like sci-fi empire.

Narvy has a PhD in theatre and was a teacher at Concordia University Chicago. He will next be seen starring in Gideon's Frontier, an Old Testament story updated to 1812. Because of course.
