Ahead of the Lionsgate Power Rangers movie premiering in China on May 12th, a series of new posters have been released specifically catered to that market. In place of the Zords, each of the Rangers is represented by animals of Chinese mythology(and a possible reference to the Thunder Zords) and those animals are as follows:
Red -Dragon
Blue-Qillin
Black-Tortoise
Yellow-Tiger
Pink-Phoenix
In addition to this, Chinese Pop singer Dimash Kudaibergen will be performing a remix of the Power Rangers theme, you can have a listen to that track here:
You might be asking just how important the Chinese premier is to the success of the Power Rangers movie? The live-action Warcraft movie which came out last year only made $160 million domestically, but the Chinese market prevented it from being a total flop bringing in $220 million in that region. So while the Power Rangers movie may have had lackluster sales domestically, the film could make it’s money back with the Chinese premiere.
So the Power Rangers movie will be releasing in China next week on May 12, and we got new Movie posters to go along with that.
Interestingly enough, instead of their zords these posters feature four legendary animals from Chinese mythology:
Red and blue both have Dragons, Yellow-tiger, Pink-Phoenix, and Black-Tortoise.
In addition, Chinese pop singer Dimash Kudaibergen performed a remix for the theme song which can be heard here:

I really like those posters. XD
Considering the designs, honestly, the only one that doesn't really work is Blue's
Tyranno is also a stretch, but eh.
Also, I like the theme. Yeah's it's just a Chinese dude singing the English extended intro, but still, he does it well
Ok not bad with the song there. hmmm. The posters make me think of the Thunder Zords.
I dig it. I'd really like having those posters too, maybe all a single poster.
Black Turtlesnake Zord? Wow, that's exactly what the Movie Mastodon looks like. Bravo China
Actually Blue's animal looks more like a typical depiction of a Qilin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qilin
EDIT: For reference, here's an example of what I mean by typical depiction.
Considering this exist....i wonder why
Nice effort on Billy's part. Gathering the dragon balls and summoning Shenron would certainly be a way to deal with Rita.
