New Power Rangers Theatrical Trailer Showcases Zordon and Alpha 5

The official theatrical trailer for Lionsgate’s Power Rangers movie hit early today and we get our first glimpses at Zordon (Bryan Cranston), Alpha 5 (Bill Hader), the Megazord, and Goldar’s giant form.

The teaser trailer hit during New York Comic Con in October, showing the new Power Rangers to the world for the first time. Though we saw some information about Angel Grove, the Rangers, and Rita, it didn’t illuminate much in terms of specifics.

In this theatrical trailer, however, Rita Repulsa (Elizabeth Banks) is front and center, showing just how much of a threat she is. While not an over-the-top villain like the original television show, this Rita looks like she’ll bring her own unique spin to the Power Rangers mythos.

While Zordon and Alpha 5 only get minor appearances in this trailer, it’s the most we’ve seen for their new Power Rangers incarnations yet. It’s clear their roles won’t be much different from the source material: Zordon will still act as the guiding mentor and Alpha 5 as the comic relief assistant to the teenage misfit superheroes.

The trailer closes with a climactic fight between Goldar and the Megazord. As different as Goldar looks—he’s solid gold—we know it’s him based on the previously released toy images showcasing his radically different appearance.

Power Rangers hits theaters March 24, 2017 ahead of Free Comic Book Day. If you can’t wait like us, there are plenty of titles available at your local comic shop to sate your Power Rangers fix. Be sure to grab the sequel to the movie published by BOOM! Studios and available March 29, just days after the film’s release.
