Dust off your Zords, Rangers -- Rita Repulsa is back. 

Elizabeth Banks will be tackling the role of the villain in the upcoming Power Rangers movie, and now we have a peek at what the teens will be up against. And it is very green and spiky.

Banks told People it's her first time playing a villain, and she's psyched about "world domination – and being unpredictable as a character." 

The green ensemble breaks away from Rita's look in the television show, but hopefully we've all had morphin' makeovers since the 90s.

The movie will be released in 2017.
