Lionsgate has released a new photo of Elizabeth Banks as Rita Repulsa for\u00a0Power Rangers<\/strong>, which hits theaters on\u00a0March 24, 2017.<\/p>\n

Directed by Dean Israelite<\/strong>, Power Rangers is written by John Gatins, Burk Sharpless<\/strong> and Matt Sazama<\/strong>, Zack Stentz<\/strong> and Ashley Miller<\/strong>, and Max Landis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Power Rangers cast includes Dacre Montgomery<\/strong> as Jason the Red Ranger, RJ Cyler<\/strong>\u00a0as Billy the Blue Ranger, Naomi Scott<\/strong>\u00a0as Kimberly the Pink Ranger, Becky G<\/strong> as Trini the Yellow Ranger, Ludi Lin<\/strong>\u00a0as Zack the Black Ranger, and Elizabeth Banks<\/strong> as Rita Repulsa.<\/p>\n

Production designer\u00a0Andrew Menzies tells the magazine, \u201cIt\u2019s tricky finding a new language for a superhero costume. Ours is an alien costume that grows on them, that\u2019s not man-made. You can\u2019t win everyone over, but we are trying to appeal to a more mature audience and gain new fans.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saban\u2019s Power Rangers follows five ordinary high school kids who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove \u2013 and the world \u2013 is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover that they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so they will have to overcome their real-life issues and band together\u00a0as the Power Rangers before it is too late.<\/p>\n

Producers are Power Rangers creator Haim Saban, Brian Casentini, Wyck Godfrey<\/strong>, and Marty Bowen<\/strong><\/p>\n
