Is it possible to make a darker, serious Power Rangers? Director Dean Israelite (Project Almanac) looks like he’s managed to do just that, at least as far as this first trailer reveals. The film had its New York Comic-Con presentation, where Israelite confirmed that Goldar, Rita Repulsa’s infamous henchman who dogged the Rangers in the ’90s-era series, will be in the film.
