Can I get an “It’s morphin’ time!” in here?
There we go.
Yesterday, studio Lionsgate released the first movie poster for the upcoming Power Rangers film. The image features silhouettes of the main cast, with the tagline “together we are more” set against a smattering of stars that form the shape of a lightning bolt.
In the poster, the actors are posing in their street clothes, rather than the new Ranger suits. Entertainment publication Entertainment Weekly did reveal a shot of the team in their battle gear last month, though, which you can check out below:
On Tuesday, Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston announced that he will play Zordon in the flick.
