11 Wild Theories About 2017’s Biggest Movies
7. Rita Repulsa Used To Be The Green Power Ranger – Power Rangers
It’s fair to say the trailer for the Power Rangers reboot didn’t exactly set hearts racing; if anything, it cooled whatever excitement there was. It looks like a cliché ridden teen drama mixed with a gritty origin story, and it doesn’t appear to have any of the charm or humour of the show.
The teens themselves look like a dull lot, though the supporting cast is much more exciting. Bryan Cranston – who did some voices for the original series – will play Zordon, and Elizabeth Banks will play main villain Rita Repulsa.
Ever since production photos of Banks dressed in Rita’s snazzy green attire became available, fans have speculated Rita was actually the green Power Ranger once upon a time but has since turned evil. This would certainly give the character a bit more depth, and would fit in with the movie’s “gritty” aesthetic.
