And then when she walks in, not in sweatpants but in full Rita Repulsa costume, I’m like, “This is gonna be so easy, because she looks so real!” “For me, it was so cool, because, we’re just hanging out in our regular civilian clothes, in sweats and stuff, but then when we went in to film it, there were all kinds of people there, and I feel the pressure, because, you know, it’s my first film, and I’m working with A-list actors like Elizabeth, I was nervous. “īefore finally revealing how it felt to see Elizabeth Banks in full costume:

Earlier this week, we got our first look at. And for Rita, they brought in Zedd and recast Rita. For the green ranger they just gave him a different costume from a different Sentai series and he became The White Ranger. “She chokes me and throws me up against a wall, and I actually told her, “Don’t be afraid to put pressure on my neck.” Little did I know the next day I’d actually have bruises and feel a little sore. Published Elizabeth Banks is seen wearing a much different look in new photos from the Vancouver set of Lionsgate's Power Rangers. What basically happened is they ran out of Sentai footage for a few characters, Rita and The Green Ranger most notably. She then went onto talk briefly about the physicality that was involved within the fights scenes: Rita’s the type to play a lot of mind games, and Trini’s, “Can I really overpower Rita Repulsa or can I not?” Today, we’ve finally got a chance to see what Elizabeth Banks looks like in costume as the very first Power Rangers villian, Rita Repulsa. “Rita tries to make Trini feel like she’s the weakest link of the Power Rangers, and she feels it’s easier to go for her. The Yellow Ranger’s Becky G recently spoke to EW about the filming process and why Repulsa is targeting her specifically: With Rita Repulsa’s costume looking as flamboyant as ever, loyal fans won’t have to worry too much about this new adaption deviating too far from the original series: With a handful of pictures having already been released, we now have another in the form of Rita Repulsa, portrayed by Elizabeth Banks, who has the Yellow Ranger pinned up against a wall. Take a look: Talking about her costume, Banks told PEOPLE: Its definitely a. Although it may not be heading in the same direction of the short film that had set the internet ablaze, it will however try and balance many aspects of what made the original work with a modern edge. Of course, to go with the times, Rita now wears a sleeker and edgier green costume with gold embellishments. Well now Lionsgate/Saban Films have a reboot in the works which is due for release next year. Full of R-rated violence and some solid fighting choreography, this re-imagining recaptured the hearts of many fans from the past. We wanted to give her a backstory that connects her to the new Rangers. However a couple of years ago, Joseph Kahn released a tounge-in-cheek short that depicted the Power Rangers in a ‘dark and gritty’ manner. Elizabeth Banks premiered the 'edgy, brand new re-imagining' of the Power Ranger movie's Rita Repulsa today, unveiling a photo of her in full costume. Talking about her costume, Banks told PEOPLE: It's definitely a modern and edgy re-imagining of the original Rita Repulsa. To put it bluntly, the 90’s were the golden years. In recent years, these franchises have trickled into the new generation although they’ve always felt like lame attempts at recapturing their former glory. We had Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Pokémon, Goosebumps and countless other franchises that had blown all of our tiny, little minds.
