Just like all the big characters from the 90s the Power Rangers went and got a suit upgrade, they have switched the spandex for high-tech combat suits.
The new suits are really cool looking. They are completely armored and serves as protection from both monsters and regular bullets, they are basically a mix between Iron Man's suit and TRON. But these aren't regular suits, they are alien and they grow on the Rangers
The director, Dean Israelite (Project Almanac) had this to say about the new costumes.
“The show was about kids coming of age, about metamorphosis. These suits needed to feel like they were catalyzed by these kids and their energy, their spirit.”
The production designer, Andrew Menzies (G.I. Joe: Retaliation), said that making such major changes while staying true to the original characters and designs was a real challenge, and he knows that not everyone will be happy about the changes.
“It’s tricky finding a new language for a superhero costume. Ours is an alien costume that grows on them, that’s not man-made. You can’t win everyone over, but we are trying to appeal to a more mature audience and gain new fans.”
The new Power Rangers movie will star Becky Gomez as Teyana Jones, The Yellow Ranger (Sabre-tooth Tiger), RY Cyler as Brian Olson, The Blue Ranger (Triceratops), Ludi Lin as Oscar Fernandez, The Black Ranger (Mastodon), Dacre Montgomery as Callum Oliver, The Red Ranger (Tyrannosaurus), and Naomi Scott as Priya Patel, The Pink Ranger (Pterodactyl). Elizabeth Banks will be playing the main villian, Rita Reupsa.
The new Power Ranger movie is set for release on March 24 in 2017.
