Each poster is tinted with their character's signature ranger color along with the long-running franchises thunderbolt logo.

The film directed by Dean Israelite will also star Bryan Cranston as team mentor Zordon and Elizabeth Banks as main antagonist Rita Repulsa.

Speaking of his role in the film, Cranston explained how Zordon, a floating, ghastly looking head who would lead and give advice to the Rangers, "still has a heart and mind, but an agenda that he's got to get these five Power Rangers to defend earth or else everyone they know will be killed."

Power Rangers blasts into theaters March 24, 2017.
