The newly rebootedPower Rangersare heading to the big screen next year and Lionsgate has just unleashed the very first trailer for the new take on the teens turned heroes. While we have been getting a fairly steady stream of official images and promotional material, this is our first look at actual footage from thehighly anticipated reboot. While there are a lot of familiar elements present, it is very clear that this is a very different version of thePower Rangers.
Lionsgate announced a couple of weeks ago that they would be bringingPower RangerstoNew York Comic Con, and they did not disappoint. The panel included many members of the cast and crew for the upcoming movie, but it was the footage that really took everyone by storm. Lucky for us, the studio didn’t make us wait too long to reveal thePower Rangerstrailer to the rest of the world.
While this new movie appears to be a pretty massive departure and update from theMighty Morphin Power Rangersof the 90s, it is very clear that the producers of the movie are keeping many of the elements that fans loved about the show. The suits did get an Iron-Man-esque redesign, but they did retain their color and flair. The movie will also include the giant robotic Zords and many of the classic characters, even if they are updated for the modern age. There has been talk of aPower Rangers rebootof some kind of quite some time, but with this trailer, fans can rest assured that it is definitely happening and that they can see it sooner rather than later.
Not only is the movie going to feature a pretty hefty redesign of the classicPower Rangerslook, but it also features a pretty impressive cast. ThePower Rangersthemselves are being played by promising up-and-comers. The movie featuresRJ Cyleras the Blue Ranger,Darce Montgomeryas theRed Ranger,Naomi Scottas the Pink Ranger,Ludi Linas the Black Ranger andBecky Gas the Yellow Ranger. The supporting cast is sure to inspire confidence in fans, as it includesElizabeth Banksas Rita Repulsa,Bill Haderas the voice of Alpha 5 andBryan Cranston, who did some voice work on the originalMighty Morphin Power Rangersshow, will be playingZordonin this new version.
