The upcoming live action movie stars Becky G as Trini (Yellow Ranger), RJ Cyler as Billy (Blue Ranger), Naomi Scott as Kimberly (Pink Ranger), Ludi Lin as Zack (Black Ranger), and Dacre Montgomery as Jason (Red Ranger).
“From the very beginning, diversity was a very important part of the whole process,” director Dean Israelite shared with EW about the actors.
He added, “We switched all of the races around, but we made sure that the essence of each of those characters are who they were in the original show, and this really will be an origin story of those characters.”
Elizabeth Banks will star as villain Rita Repulsa in the movie, hitting theaters in 2017.
Ludi Lin shows off his skills on a power wheel while hanging out on Saturday afternoon (February 27) in Vancouver, Canada.
The 28-year-old Power Rangers actor was joined by a group of friends.
