Elizabeth Banks' Rita Repulsa Ambushes The Yellow Ranger In New POWER RANGERS Image
A brand new official image from the upcoming Power Rangers reboot has been revealed, while singer turned actress Becky G (Yellow Ranger Trini) discusses her fight scene with the villainous Rita Repulsa..
Lionsgate assembled a cast of unknowns for their big screen Power Rangers reboot, but have rounded out the cast with bigger names like Bryan Cranston and Elizabeth Banks. The latter plays the villainous Rita Repulsa in the movie, and in the new image below, you can see her confronting Becky G's Trini. How does the villain know her secret identity? That's something we'll have to wait and see about.
However, Becky did at least shed some light on why Rita has targeted her character, telling Entertainment Weekly: "Rita tries to make Trini feel like she’s the weakest link of the Power Rangers, and she feels it’s easiest to go for her. Rita’s the type to play a lot of mind games, and Trini’s [thinking], 'Can I really overpower Rita Repulsa or can I not?'" That actually sounds pretty good.
More comments can be found by clicking below, but she went on to offer an update on how production is coming along and the movie's Comic-Con plans."We’re done with the majority of filming now. We have some reshoots coming up which I’m excited for, because I’ll get to see everybody again. We have Comic-Con before that, which is even more exciting because it’ll be my first time ever."
