The crew and cast members of Saban Entertainment's upcoming "Power Rangers" film confirmed that the huge assault vehicles called Zords will be featured in the movie. They revealed some details at the New York Comic Con on Oct. 8, Saturday.
Becky G, who portrays Yellow Ranger, admitted it was hard working in the Zord. She said "Power Rangers" directed Dean Israelite even caught her praying in Spanish.
"I had a hard time in the Zord," Hollywood Reporter quoted Becky G as saying during a panel at NYCC. She added that she just wanted it to be over because it was very hard.
Dacre Montgomery, who plays Jason the Red Ranger, the leader of the Power Rangers described the Zords as "incredible, huge things." Playing the Blue Ranger, R.J. Cyler joked that while the director teased about emotional performances, it was literally emotional for him because it hurt.
Overall, everyone is determined to live up to the legacy of the superhero franchise with the movie reboot. Israelite described "Power Rangers" as a "grounded, character-driven origin story set to the backdrop of this spectacular adventure story." They worked hard for its reinvention and reimagination to bring it to the audience on March 24, 2017.
Montgomery also shared faithfulness to the franchise. Stepping into the world of "Power Rangers" gives him the feeling of honor and responsibility. He told the NYCC audience he hopes their 150 percent effort will resonate to the viewers when the reboot will be released.
The "Power Rangers" actors underwent a grueling training to become superheroes and got few accidents. Naomi Scott who plays Pink Ranger literally punched someone's face and made it bleed. The person she punched was even a nice guy.
Elizabeth Banks who plays the villain Rita Repulsa had left a good impression to her co-stars who enjoyed working with her. She was not present in the YCC but appeared in a video to make an introduction for the teaser trailer.
"Power Rangers" tells the story of five ordinary teens who find the need to be extraordinary when their small town and the world is threatened to be obliterated by alien enemies. They found out they are actually the only hope to save the planet. They need to overcome their respective personal issues and work together as the Power Rangers, according to Slash Film.
