A group of high-school kids are infused with unique superpowers, thus becoming the POWER RANGERS! We all know about our heroes and their decked-out costumes, but what about the big baddie of the show? Elizabeth Banks takes on the mantle of Rita Repulsa in the upcoming film and if you wanted a full look at her outfit, Lionsgate is here to please!

Elizabeth Banks Rita Repulsa

While I'm not familiar with the show on which this is based (kung-fu treachery didn't interest me back then), a quick search tells me that Rita was imprisoned in a space dumpster for 10,000 years (ouch) before being freed and using her minions to try and take over the world. Well, I guess that explains the dirty look! You'd think she'd make some time for a shower but I'm guessing she has world domination on the mind. As others have pointed out, her costume is very reminiscent of the Power Rangers themselves. I wonder if there's a connection there…

POWER RANGERS hits theaters on March 24, 2016.
