Your support makes all the difference.There’s a surprising amount of optimism about the upcoming Power Rangers reboot considering how flooded cinemas are with reboots.
Why? Mainly because Bryan Cranston - best known for playing Walter White in Breaking Bad - has been cast as Zordon, while Elizabeth Banks will play Rita Repulsa.
Speaking about the role recently, Cranston sounded particularly excited, saying: "As big and as powerful as Power Rangers could be, he has a nice touch to keep it grounded, and real. I think it’s gonna turn some heads, I really do.”
Thanks to a new trailer, we finally see Cranston’s character in all his glory, looking exactly like one of those pin art impression toys. Watch the Kanye West-backed clip above.
The film will be an origin story following five high-school students who become the mighty morphin heroes you'll remember from yesteryear; they're being played by RJ Cyler (Me and Earl and The Dying Girl), popstar Becky G as well as relative newcomers Naomi Scott, Ludi Lin and Dacre Montgomery (who will also be in season two of Netflix smash Stranger Things).
Power Rangers reaches cinemas 25 March.
