While the six leads for the Power Rangers reboot are mostly unknown, the producers are certainly giving them able support.

Elizabeth Banks has already been announced as Rita Rapunzel, while Bryan Cranston will be the Rangers' mentor, Zordon.

Another fan favourite from the series has now been confirmed to return and a Saturday Night Live alum has been recruited to voice him.

 

Aye-yi-yi! Welcome #BillHader as #Alpha5 to the #PowerRangersMovie - Coming in 2017!

If your memory is a little hazy, Alpha 5 was the neurotic droid servant/employee/colleague of Zordon's and assisted the Rangers as an eye in the sky type figure. 

Hader is a great fit for a contemporary interpretation of the character in our books and is another reason to be cautiously optimistic about the reboot. 

Power Rangers will be in cinemas March 2017.
