The big screen reboot of the Power Rangers is coming our way next year, and with any reboot, things are going to be a little different. The first big change comes courtesy of Elizabeth Bank’s interpretation of cackling, monster summoning villain Rita Repulsa, with our first look at the character coming via Entertainment Weekly. Gone is the drab, flowing robes and massive hair, replaced with sleek green armour, a slightly more alien look, and a necklace that could easily double as a lasso.
It all screams edgy and modern day re-interetation of the character, as what happens with every 90’s property that gets rebooted these days, and I have to admit it’s a pretty cool redesign, as is the prospect of the usually goodie two shoes Banks in her first villain role. The actress went onto drop some details about Rita Repulsa 2016, describing her as an ‘alien warrior’ seeking world domination, with a back story that connects her to this new group of giant robot piloting teenagers.
Powers Rangers comes our way March 24th 2017.
