8 Awesome Moments From The Second Power Rangers Trailer

7) Zordon Revealed

Fans have been excited to see Bryan Cranston as the Rangers’ disembodied mentor Zordon since it was announced that he was playing the iconic character a few months back. Apart from a blurry image from a phone leaked out the other week though, this trailer provides our first real look at him in action.

What fans will no doubt notice right away is the core visual concept of the character has been changed. Rather than suspended in a tube, Cranston’s Zordon takes the form of a face that appears from out of the wall of the Command Centre (or whatever the Ranger’s base will be known as in the movie). We still don’t know much about the nature of Zordon in the film, but his form here brings to mind a sort of space-age A.I. interface. It’s a pretty major change to the character, then, though he is still recognizably the big white bald head that fans know and love. Except this time he sounds like Walter White.

New Zordon is clearly a slightly tougher mentor than the old one as well, as he trains his soldiers hard. e.g. conjuring up some hologram rock-monsters for them to beat up (or get beaten up by, as the case may be).
