Don’t Miss This Power Rangers Duo At Geekd Con

North Louisiana is about to become the epicenter of nerd culture once again. Geek'd Con is officially locked in for August 14th through the 16th, 2026. Geek'd is bringing another massive pop culture footprint back to the Shreveport Convention Center.

For over a decade, this homegrown event has provided the Ark-La-Tex with a world-class convention experience right in its own backyard. Fans can expect a jam-packed weekend filled with celebrity meet-and-greets, exclusive merch, and a community atmosphere that rivals the biggest shows in the country.

This year's lineup is already packed with stars like David Arquette, Shannon Elizabeth, and Summer Glau. It also includes one of the original cast members from 'Mighty Morphin Power Rangers', Walter E. Jones. But that Power Rangers count has now doubled...

The Original Blue Ranger of 'Mighty Morphin Power Rangers' is Coming to Shreveport

Joining Walter E. Jones in Shreveport will be the original Blue Ranger, David Yost.

David launched his career as Billy Cranston, the original Blue Ranger on the 1993 television series 'Mighty Morphin Power Rangers'. He would go on to appear in almost 200 episodes of the series, establishing him as one of the most iconic Rangers actors of all time.

He holds a unique place in franchise history as the only original cast member to appear in every single episode of the initial series. He also brought the Blue Ranger to the big screen in the 1995 theatrical release, 'Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie'.

When the television show transitioned into 'Power Rangers Zeo', David stayed on as Billy, shifting from the frontline to serve as the technical advisor for the team.
After time away from the screen, David returned to the franchise in 2023.
