New Power Rangers Trailers Deliver Mighty Morphin' Action

The big screen reboot of Power Rangers arrives in a few weeks, and a pair of action-packed new TV spots have landed. Check them out below:

These teasers follow new posters that were released last week, which showed the Rangers alongside their Zords. We've also recently had a longer trailer for the movie, and this image of the villainous Rita Repulsa, played by Elizabeth Banks.

Power Rangers opens in theaters on March 24, 2017. It stars Dacre Montgomery, Naomi Scott, RJ Cyler, Becky G, and Ludi Lin as the Rangers. Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) portrays the Rangers' mentor, Zordon.

Early in his career, Cranston worked as a voice artist on Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. Last month, the actor revealed that he took the role in the movie when he realised that it was taking a different approach to the show. "I thought, 'Power Rangers? It's kind of the [1960s] Batman television show--Pow! Zing! Whap!'," he told IGN. "And I had a phone call with the director and he said, 'Think of it this way... Batman came from TV and became a completely different animal in the movies, so too is it here. We're going to take this and revamp it and it's going to be grounded and real.'

"And I thought 'Okay, with that, let me read it.' I read it and went 'You're right.' The kids sound like real kids and not everyone is this great athlete and everything is working out. I thought, 'This might be a nice bookend to what I was doing before,' since I started out doing voices."

A multiplayer fighting game called Power Rangers: Legacy Wars is coming out alongside the movie for mobile devices in March. Another game, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Mega Battle, launched in January for PS4, Xbox One, and PC with basically no fanfare.
