We’ve seen our first look at the villain<\/a> in the upcoming Power Rangers<\/strong><\/em><\/a> movie, but what about our heroes?<\/p>\n We know who’s playing the defenders of the earth, but now thanks to Entertainment Weekly,<\/em> we know how they’re going to suit up to save the day.<\/p>\n Check out our heroes, fully decked out in their new costumes!<\/p>\n If you’re thinking these outfits look radically different, you’d be correct. They’re made of new materials that reveal an interesting mythology and backstory behind the costumes; more specifically, the suits are made of “extraterrestrial armor that crystallizes around their bodies.”<\/p>\n Director Dean Israelite explains the idea behind them:<\/p>\n “The show was about kids coming of age, about metamorphosis. These suits needed to feel like they were catalyzed by these kids and their energy, their spirit.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n It’s very specific that these suits originate with aliens and grow; they’re not man-made in any way.<\/p>\n And though they’re not man-made, I have to admit they do give me definite Iron Man vibes.<\/p>\n Power Rangers,<\/em> directed by Dean Israelite, is set to debut on January 13, 2017. It stars Elizabeth Banks, Naomi Scott, Becky G., RJ Cyler, Ludi Lin, and Dacre Montgomery.<\/p>\n What do you think of the new suits? Sound off below!<\/p>\n
