Exactly two months afterPower RangersdirectorDean Israeliteconfirmed that the fan-favorite characterAlpha 5will return, Lionsgate has revealed who will voice this character. The studio announced on Twitter thatBill Haderhas come aboard to provide the voice for the beloved robot. It’s possible we may get our first look at Alpha 5 next month, when the first footage is unveiled.
Lionsgate announced earlier this week thatPower Rangerscast and crew will descend uponNew York Comic Confor a special Q&A and panel presentation Saturday, October 8 at 2 PM ET at The Theater at Madison Square Garden. The studio hasn’t confirmed which cast members will be present at the panel, but they also revealed new posters that feature each of the main characters' Dinozords, the massive robots each Power Ranger can pilot.
Unfortunately, theTwitterpost only included a photo of the actor, and not what this new version of Alpha 5 may look like. In the original series, Alpha 5 was the robotic helper to thePower Rangers' mentor,Zordon, who will be voiced byBryan Cranston. Throughout the variousPower Rangersseries, Alpha 5 was always a light-hearted presence who often provided much comic relief, and with the casting ofBill Hader, this character may not change too much from its original incarnations.
TheNew RangersincludeDacre Montgomery(Jason the Red Ranger),Naomi Scott(Kimberley the Pink Ranger),RJ Cyler(Billy the Blue Ranger),Ludi Lin(Zach the Black Ranger), andBecky G(Trini the Yellow Ranger). The cast also includesElizabeth Banksas the villainous Rita Repulsa.Dean Israelite(Project Almanac) is directing from a script byJohn Gatins(Flight) andAshley Miller(X-Men: First Class).Bill Haderhas been lending his voice to a number of projects lately, includingThe Angry Birds Movieas Leonard,The BFGas Bloodbotter andSausage Partyas Firewater, Tequila and El Guaco.
