Power Rangers NYCC 2016 Trailer

The teaser trailer for Power Rangers (2017) from the 2016 New York Comic Con accidentally premiered early on Facebook. The teaser trailer was immediately taken down. Many saw it though. Some of those people are reaction video authors and posted reaction reviews of the trailer online. Some of those reaction videos contain the teaser trailer within them. We have those videos below. Because of this, Saban and Liongates have released the trailer early, before its premiere at the NYCC later today.

As the set photos and official Power Rangers images showed, the film is set in high school. In the trailer, many of the Power Rangers are either outsiders or bullied in some way, shape, or form. When they make a life changing discovery, they are changed. After the change, the teaser trailer shows the team discovering the extent of their new abilities. This reminded me of Spider-Man’s power discovery sequences from the Sam Raimi film. Power Rangers is an origin story film, like the plethora of Marvel films that have come out before it.

The trailer also briefly focuses on how the powers begin to change the high school lives of Power Rangers for the better. There are two surprises towards the end of the trailer. One of them seemed like a nod to A Nightmare of Elm Street (probably not their intention).

Power Rangers‘ plot synopsis: “Power Rangers follows five ordinary high school kids who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world – is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover that they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so they will have to overcome their real-life issues and band together as the Power Rangers before it is too late.”

Dean Israelite‘s Power Rangers stars Bryan Cranston, Bill Hader, David Denman, Sarah Grey, Emily Maddison, Caroline Cave, Clayton Chitty, Lisa Berry, Anjali Jay, Elizabeth Banks, Dacre Montgomery, RJ Cyler, Naomi Scott, Becky G, and Ludi Lin.
