7. The Power Rangers In Motion

With Pokemon Go proving that the 90's are alive and well, there may be no better time for the Power Rangers to make their return to the big screen. Lionsgate have done away with the Putty Monsters and cheese, instead opting for Iron Man like costumes for our heroes and a Rita Repulsa decked out in a 50 Shades of Grey cosplay.

With its real world tone and impressive cast including Elizabeth Banks and Bryan Cranston (Yes Zordon this time round will be the dismembered, floating head of Heisenberg), there's no doubt Lionsgate are looking to craft a hit franchise to replace The Hunger Games. The costume reveal landed to a mixed reception but as with all things movies, it's all about how they look in action and it's all but guaranteed the costumes will be on full display on the convention floor.

Expect to see a full trailer at the convention revealing the plot, the look of Zordon and the Megazords in action. The Power Rangers were the other great success story of the nineties. Let's see if they can make the comeback they deserve.

Megazords in 2016 - this really is the end times.
