The Power Rangers movie reboot continues to tease fans of the franchise with imagery from the upcoming movie reboot by Project Almanac director Dean Israelite, and today we are once again focusing on the new incarnation of classic franchise villain Rita Repulsa, now played by Elizabeth Banks. The short version is that when they were cast as Power Rangers, after multiple auditions, they were brought in for a “screen test” and told to open a treasure chest to reveal their destiny, only to open it and find out they got the role. In the series’ lore, she had been described as an alien witch who is aiming for domination of the universe, having already conquered a number of worlds. Upon gaining freedom, she decides to finally defeat Zordon and conquer Earth. They ultimately become the Red, Yellow, Blue, Pink, and Black Rangers, respectively. Chances are that what we see in the newly released image below is that prison, though she seems to be on the verge of escape. Other promo images include the Rangers’ helmets, the team lined up in full costume, as well as the individual characters in their own introductory posters.
