Get Your First Official Look At The Very Different New POWER RANGERS Costumes
See the updated outfits sported by Yellow Ranger Trini, Black Ranger Zack, Red Ranger Jason, Pink Ranger Kimberly, and Blue Ranger Billy in Dean Israelite's upcoming Power Rangers reboot...
Following the first look at Elizabeth Banks as Rita Repulsa, EW has debuted the updated costumes the young heroes of the Power Rangers reboot will sport. They're immediately recognizable, (more or less) but fans may still take issue with some of the radical changes to the classic outfits.
According to director Dean Israelite, the costumes are actually “translucent extraterrestrial armor that crystallizes around their bodies.” He continues: "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.”
Saban's Power Rangers follows five ordinary high school kids who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world – 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 as the Power Rangers before it is too late.
Power Rangers is set for release on March 24, 2017.
