There's only four months left until the highly-anticipated debut of the new Power Rangers movie, and fan-hype is in full swing.

After the first trailer was released last month, audiences have been eagerly awaiting more photos, videos, or really anything related to the film.

It looks like the team behind Power Rangers answered the call, and tweeted out a full image of Rita Repulsa from a photo shoot for the film.

Rita Repulsa is one of the main villains of Power Rangers lore, as she has always been hell-bent on taking out the Rangers so she can take over the world. Elizabeth Banks plays the character, and -- along with Bryan Cranston's Zordon -- remains one of the most anticipated pieces of the movie.

She was briefly seen in the trailer, hovering over the bed of one of the Rangers. As she's making her intentions clear, she declares, "I've killed Rangers before."

This version of the character is much different from the iteration fans were used to in the 90s series. The classic Rita dons a big hat, and wears much baggier clothes -- not to mention all of her colors were much darker. The sleek, green design of the film's Rita leads fans to believe she has ties to the Rangers that have yet to be revealed. One interesting theory suggests that she has something to do with the green ranger, who is missing from the film at this point.

Power Rangers is set to hit theaters on March 24, 2017.
