Power Rangers: first look at Elizabeth Banks as Rita Repulsa

Currently filming in Vancouver is the brand new Power Rangers, that's set to reboot the movie series and potentially kick off a new collection of films. Dean Israelite, of Project Almanac vintage, is directing this one, from a screenplay by John Gatins, Buck Sharpless, Matt Sazama, Zack Stentz, Max Landis and Ashley Miller.

Arguably the highest profile piece of casting for the new movie was the inclusions of Elizabeth Banks, who is playing villain Rita Repulsa. And the first image of Banks in the part has now been released. She also revealed that "it's definitely a modern and edgy reimagining of the original Rita Repulsa. We wanted to give her a backstory that connects her to the new Rangers".

The new Power Rangers movie lands on March 24th 2017, and you can see the new Rita Repulsa in detail right here...
