If you thought that the first Power Rangers teaser trailer was surprisingly good, you are not alone. Along with the obvious nostalgic fans of the series, it appears that the reboot film is attracting new audiences, slowly building the buzz for the March 2017 release.
The Power Rangers website has already been launched. It features, besides some cool new pics, character descriptions for all the Rangers. So check them all out 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 will be released next year, on the 24th of March.
March 2017 is a pretty busy month, with Logan coming out on the 3rd, Kong: Skull Island on the 10th, Beauty and the Beast on the 17th, and Ghost in the Shell on the 31st. Power Rangers will be released in the same weekend as King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, and will probably win the weekend in the US (the first trailer for Guy Ritchie's action-adventure flick didn't impress the audiences at this year's SDCC).
