The Power Rangers have busy lives. Between school and saving the day, the superhero team took time to drop by New York Comic Con to help Lionsgate debut footage and posters from their upcoming film. And, now, the official website for the 2017 Power Rangers movie has given fans a new synopsis to geek out over with photos and character bios to boot.

The flash website features several photos which fans have been gifted previous. The still image of Rita Repulsa and the ensemble shot of the team in uniform have both been seen previously. The new photos are pictures of the Power Rangers in their everyday dress. Images of Jason Lee Scott, Kimberly Hart, Billy Cranston, Trini Kwan, and Zack Taylor can be seen in our attached photo gallery.
An updated synopsis is also featured on the website. You can check it out below:
“Saban’s Power Rangers follows five ordinary teens who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world – is on the verge ob being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so, they will have to overcome their real-life issues and before it’s too late, band together as the Power Rangers.”
Following NYCC, Lionsgate has also shared character bios for each of the Rangers to satisfy fans. Director Dean Israelite described the young heroes and stressed that “the cast embodies the spirit of the original Rangers and who they were.”
You can check out the character descriptions below:
“Jason, the Red Ranger (DACRE MONTGOMERY) was a football legend in his small town of Angel Grove until one fateful mistake. When we first meet Jason, he is in need of redemption and is struggling to find himself. But soon he is given a chance to lead a new team made up of an unlikely group of teenage superheroes and must find it in himself to rise to the challenge.”
“Kimberly, the Pink Ranger (NAOMI SCOTT) used to be Queen Bee of Angel Grove High, but has been cast out of the popular clique and is now struggling to find her identity. She has a new rebel- without-a-cause, edgy attitude, but this front is hiding a secret that makes her feel deeply vulnerable.”
“Billy, the Blue Ranger (RJ CYLER) has always been challenged in his abilities to communicate and interact socially. Whip-smart and sweet, he is the most pure-hearted of the group. Billy has never really had any friends, so finding teenagers that he is comfortable with is a big deal, and soon he begins connecting with people in a way he’s never been able to do before.”
“Trini, the Yellow Ranger (BECKY G) is mysterious but extremely bright. Her parents constantly move for work, making her the perpetual new girl to any school. A loner who owns it, Trini is self-sufficient and contemplative, but always observant. All she wants is to find her gang of friends, but she’ll never admit it — least of all to herself.”
“Zack, the Black Ranger (LUDI LIN) is filled with bravado and swagger. He is tough and cool on the exterior but has many layers beyond his fearless appearance. Zack advertises everything about himself, except the truth, which makes him feel deeply inferior to all his peers.”
Power Rangers is scheduled for release on January 13, 2017.
