‘Power Rangers’ Latest Trailer Shows Alpha 5 Bringing the Pain [Video]

By Staff Writer | Feb 18, 2017 12:04 AM EST

The "Power Rangers" reboot film pulls out all the punches in its third and final trailer. It also shows the robot assistant Alpha 5 throwing some punches of its own.

As expected from the "Power Rangers" franchise, part of the trailer feature action scenes, with the Power Rangers seen piloting their Zords and laying the smack down on the movie version of Goldar. What was unexpected, however, was Alpha 5, voiced by Bill Hader, beating up what seemed to be a mini Putty Patrol member at final parts of the trailer.

Another interesting part of the "Power Rangers" trailer was the short but deliberate Marvel reference that one of the Rangers did. After Zordon, (Bryan Cranston), explained that the five teenagers are now Power Rangers, Billy (RJ Cyler) asks if they are more like "Iron Man" or "Spider-Man", Entertainment Weekly reported.

According to Comic Book, the trailer was released thanks to the power of social media. Lionsgate Films, producer of the "Power Rangers" reboot, went to Facebook and stated that they would release another trailer for the upcoming reboot for 75,000 reactions. And since the trailer was released, it's safe to say that the number was met.

Based on the synopsis for "Power Rangers", Rita Repulsa (Elizabeth Banks) is after the Zeo Crystal, which powers up the Morphing Grid that gives the Rangers their power. This could be teasing a possible sequel for the movie, this time using the "Power Rangers: Zeo" template. No word has been given regarding this, however.

Directed by Dean Israelite, Cyler is joined by Dacre Montgomery as Jason, Ludi Lin as Zack, Backy G as Trini and Naomi Scott as Kimberly in the upcoming "Power Rangers" reboot. This would be the most recent movie adaptation of the franchise since "Trubo: A Power Rangers Movie" 20 years ago.

"Power Rangers" is going to theatres in March 2017.
