As we previously reported, 90s Saturday morning favourite Power Rangers is getting a big screen reboot with Elizabeth Banks signed on to star as the villian Rita Repulsa. The film isn't due for release until next year, but we've just got a first look at the costumes the new generation of Rangers will be wearing.
Things have moved on a lot from the lycra of the mid nineties, and the new costumes appear to be taking as much inspiration from Marvel as from the original film and TV series. Production designer Andrew Menzies told Entertainment Weekly “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.”
Power Rangers was a big part of our childhoods, so we remain cautiously optimistic about this film.
