Elizabeth Banks Is Rita Repulsa In Dean Israelite’s ‘Power Rangers’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Dean Israelite’s Power Rangers has finally found its villain.

As a 90’s kid who only really remembers the series’ early seasons, I couldn’t be more excited to see iconic villain Rita Repulsa on the big screen in 2017.

THR has learned that Pitch Perfect 2 director and Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp star Elizabeth Banks has signed on to portray the role, and the actress has already taken to Twitter to express excitement over the news:

It’s truly amazing to see so much of the world so excited about a Power Rangers resurgence (well, not that Power Rangers ever went away), and as a huge fan of director Dean Israelite’s 2015 feature debut, Project Almanac, I really can’t wait to see what comes of 2017’s Power Rangers.

RJ Cyler, Becky G, Ludi Lin, Naomi Scott, and Dacre Montgomery are our new Rangers, and Power Rangers is slated for a March 24th, 2017 release.
