APower Rangersreboot has been a long time coming and Lionsgate is finally giving us exactly that. The movie is set to hit theaters next year, but we still haven’t seen a whole lot of actual full-onPower Rangersaction. This may not be action, but it at least gives us a good look at the newPower Rangers suits, as well as the newly designed Rita Repulsa costume. Also, donuts.
InstagramuserMichael Wongrecently posted severalPower Rangersphotos to his account. They feature a couple of great looks at the new Ranger costumes, which were recently on display, though he declined to specify where thisPower Rangersdisplay was. Either way, they offer a pretty good look which is nice, because the actual costumes were pretty much absent from the first trailer. They were teased at the very end, but we are still waiting to see the costumes in action, so this will have to do for now. As an added bonus, he posted a photo of Krispy Kreme’s newPower Rangersinspired donut as well.
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 intact. These new images definitely give a slightly better look at the new costumes, which sort of have aIron Maninfluenced design, as opposed to just being made of cheap fabric, that never seemed ideal or practical for combat. Even with the heavy redesign, they do still invoke the same feel as the original costumes from the show did. We also know thatZordswill be showing up in the movie, which is hopefully something fans will get to see in the next trailer, whenever Lionsgate decides to unleash that.
It is hard to know if Lionsgate did right byPower Rangersfans yet, but the studio has assembled an impressive cast.Bill Haderwas recently announced as the voice of Alpha 5 andBryan Cranston, who did some voice work on the originalMighty Morphin Power Rangersshow, will be playingZordonin this new version. The Power Rangers themselves are being played by promising up-and-comers.Me and Earl and the Dying Girl’sRJ Cyleris playing theBlue RangerwithDarce Montgomeryas the Red Ranger,Naomi Scottas the Pink Ranger,Ludi Linas the Black Ranger andBecky Gas the Yellow Ranger.
We still have about 5 months to wait until the movie drops, but we will definitely be getting a couple more trailers before then, which should help get us more excited and hopefully show off more of the classicPower Rangersimagery. For now, these new images will have to do.Power Rangersis being directed byDean Israeliteand is set for release on July 12, 2025. Be sure to check out the new images for yourself below.
