It’s Morphin Time, people! With a mere two months until the premiere of the Power Rangers reboot film, a brand new trailer dropped earlier this morning and “Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi!” It gave away a lot of the things that we hadn’t seen yetâand maybe even a glimpse of the final battle. What’s it all mean? We’re breaking it down in today’s Nerdist News!
Join host and keeper of the Power Coins, Jessica Chobot, as she lays out the moments and revelations that you may have missed in the latest trailer. That includes a very interesting theory about Rita Repulsa and her relationship with Trini. Is there a reason that the film’s big bad is going after the Yellow Ranger in her own house?
Everyone’s favorite henches, the Putties, are also back in this new footage…and they look like they’re going full Katamari Damacy on us. There are Putties in this footage that appear to be made up of random things like a fire hydrant and a safety cone. (That’s what Rita gets for going non-union.) This trailer also gave us our best look yet at Alpha 5, as well as Bryan Cranston‘s Zordon. It also appears to lend credence to the rumors that Zordon was once a Red Power Ranger himself, many millions of years ago.
Finally, we’ve now seen the combined Megazord as it takes on Goldar in what we presume to be the film’s climactic showdown. But would Power Rangers really give the endgame away so easily? Because if Rita really does have the powers of the Green Ranger, she may be able to bring a much more formidable enemy into play for a real showdown with the Rangers.
Power Rangers will be released on Friday, March 24.
