Once again IGN has scooped the world with a brand new reveal from the 2017 Power Rangers Movie! And this time it’s none other than our favorite lovable sidekick Alpha 5! From IGN:
Alpha 5 has a more modern and organic look that uses darker hues of the familiar red and blue colors of the original design. SNL alum Bill Hader will be providing the voice for Alpha 5. The Emmy nominated actor also helped bring another robot to life as a vocal consultant for BB-8 on The Force Awakens. Hader joins Elizabeth Banks (as Rita Repulsa) and Bryan Cranston (as Zordon) in the film, which hits theaters on March 24, 2017.

We thought it was important to highlight the guests that have had to cancel for this year’s Official Power Morphicon in their own update in case they were tops on your list of autograph and photo-ops. Check out the current list of cancellations below.
We are sad to see these guests not being able to attend. Most of all, we are sad that the opportunity to have all six Power Rangers Time Force Rangers in attendance, along with the villains, is no longer possible. But there’s still great photo opportunities out there so please head to the Official Power Morphicon site and pre-register for your photo-ops!
UPDATE! Danny Slavin will now be appearing on Friday and Saturday at Power Morphicon! Great news for those who were upset that he had cancelled earlier.
New guests have been added to the Official Power Morphicon guest line-up! Check out whose coming on our list below!

Here we go! Today the casting sides for the upcoming Power Rangers 2017 Movie were released online. What is a casting side you ask? Well, it’s basically a bunch of lines for actors to read off or to get in to character while auditioning for the role of the character they’re trying out for. Casting sides are not always a guarantee – the casting sides for Power Rangers Megaforce were different than what we ended up with.
Now obviously – there’s potential major spoilers. Below is a screen shot of the casting side with the details blurred out. These casting sides potentially give us the first details on the story (how similar is it to the “leaked” story from a month or so ago?), as well as more details on some of the character bios that were leaked not too long ago (Kimberly being absent from school for six months is explained, as well as part of Billy’s reasoning for being such an introvert). If you’d like to see the casting sides, you may do so courtesy of our friends at MorphinLegacy.com, our friends at RangerBoard.com, as well as the folks of RangerCrew.com.
