After 10,000 years she's free and ready to conquer Earth.

Early this morning, EW released the first official image from Lionsgate's Power Rangers movie, showing Elizabeth Banks as the malevolent space witch, Rita Repulsa. Check out the full image below.

Banks' look is far removed from the original Rita, or Bandora as she was known in the Super Sentai series, no longer with her hair in eccentric hoops, but dons green, spiked armor almost resembling a thorn. Even more so...a dragon.

Hardcore Super Sentai fans might think she resembles more of Mele from the Gekiranger series with the green motif, but it's definitely a different look for Rita.

So what do you fans think of this new appearance? Does it foreshadow how the rest of the aesthetics will end up looking like? Let us know in the comments below.
