It's taken its time err, powering up, and now the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie has finally started shooting. The live-action flick follows a story that fans of the brightly-colored heroes will recognise: five high-schoolers find themselves battling against an alien threat out to destroy their hometown. Their enemy takes the form of Rita Repulsa, an unhinged baddie who wreaks☂ havoc wherever she goes. 

So far, so Power Rangers. Well, that is until 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the first snap of Repulsa hit the web earlier this month. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elizabeth Banks' take on the iconic villain is completely different to the TV version. She's still got a flair for theatrics, don't worry, and this latest crop of snaps only prove that this Repulsa💖 frankly doesn't give a damn about what's come before.

, the site which posted the pics, claims that Repulsa w🔴as spotted 'sucking the 🌳life' from each of the Rangers. That goes some way to explaining the image where she appears to be laying a smooch on Scott's Kimberly Hart.

Directed by Dean Israelite and starring Naomi Scott, Dacre Montgomery, RJ Cyler, Ludi Lin, and Elizabeth Banks, the Power Rangers movie will be relꦅeased in UK and US cinemas on January 13, 2017.
