See the First Photo of Elizabeth Banks as Rita Repulsa in Power Rangers

She looks like a sadomasoquist elf...either way.

She looks ready for world domination

The first photo of Elizabeth Banks as Rita Repulsa in the upcoming Power Rangers movie is finally here. Shot exclusively for People magazine, the image shows Banks fully embodying the alien witch nemesis of the mighty morphin’ teens.

The actress explained that her character’s look—which includes sharp metallic fingernails and some flashy headgear—is a new take on the villain from the 1993 television series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. “It’s definitely a modern and edgy re-imagining of the original Rita Repulsa,” she told People. “We wanted to give her a back story that connects her to the new Rangers.”

Too much green

Dammit, now I have the hots for Rita.

That doesn't look like a Power Ranger costume.

I like the design on its own BuT that doesn't look like the Rita repulsa that I remember

She looks like Viper from The Wolverine movie. Either way, I don't mind it. Better this than putting her in that ridiculous headpiece and outfit.

But where's her Staff?

looks creepy.

Looks like Poison Ivy.

She looks more like a henchman.

She should have the original Rita colors.

I'm hoping for a little less cheep camp for the new PR film though that's kinda hard to do.

She looks amazing. I just wish it consisted of Rita's original colours. Hopefully the film will be as good as she looks.

Wait.. Mighty Morphing Power Rangers getting remade?

Looks more like Scorpina than Rita, but still a cool costume.
