With the March 24 release date rapidly approaching, Lionsgate has released a final trailer forPower Rangerswith brand new footage, along with another TV spot. These new videos give fans a better look at the iconicZordon, voiced byBryan Cranston, along with a new glimpse at the villainous Rita Repulsa (Elizabeth Banks) and Goldar, plus a brief scene with Alpha 5 (Bill Hader). The Alpha 5 scene shows that, while he is certainly lacking in size, he’s more than capable of taking care of himself, as he takes down an enemy while screaming “Power Rangers!” Alpha 5 could very well be a scene-stealing character in this immense ensemble when he makes his big screen return on March 24.
Lionsgatedebuted this 60-second trailer and 30-second TV spot on YouTube, which also features some footage showing how strong these teenagers have become after finding thepower coins. There is also a new scene whereRJ Cyler’s Billy Cranston, a.k.a. The Blue Ranger, asks Zordon if they’re more likeIron ManorSpider-Man, as he tries to figure out what kind of heroes they really are. We also get another glimpse at the massive Goldar, thePower Rangers' Zords, and a scene whereBecky Gcasually tells her family that she’s now a superhero.
Saban’s Power Rangersfollows five ordinary teens who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove, and the world, is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so, they will have to overcome their real-life issues and before it’s too late, band together as thePower Rangers. The movie will have some stiff competition next month, going up against Warner Bros. theatrical reboot ofCHiPs, starringMichael PenaandDax Shepard, and Sony’s sci-fi thrillerLife, starringRyan Reynolds,Jake GyllenhaalandRebecca Ferguson.
While the villainousGoldarhas been previously confirmed, this trailer gives us perhaps our best look at the towering villain. There have also been rumors that the Putty Patrol will put in an appearance, during a scene where Rita Repulsa tries to steal gold bullion from the Central Bank of Russia, and they also appear in a fight scene where five Putties turn to stone to challenge the Rangers. That report also reveals that Rita Repulsa is trying to steal gold from all over the world, to resurrect Goldar, whose “molecular essence” is scattered around the Earth after he was vaporized in the opening action sequence on Ancient Earth.
