'Power Rangers' movie release date news 2016: Costumes of the new crew revealed

Fans can get a closer look at the new Rangers outfits from the upcoming Lionsgate reboot film, "Power Rangers."

Comicbook.com has released several photos of the team's helmets, and what seem to be some rocks from which each ranger draws their power. There's one color rock for each ranger, and they also come with a geometric-type pattern which gives the rock a more alien look.

The helmets also look very similar to the classic "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" helmets, complete with the silver mouthpieces. A notable difference, however, is that the helmets have a texture to them, as if they were carved out of large pieces of gemstones. This is a stark contrast to the classic helmets, which are one solid color.

There is also no clear hint if each of the Rangers will have a corresponding "spirit animal."Fans of the original series will remember that the Power Rangers each represented a specific animal (particularly a dinosaur), which would also be the robotic ship that they would pilot (called "Zords"). The red ranger's animal was a tyrannosaurus rex, blue would be a triceratops, pink is a pterodactyl, yellow is a sabertooth tiger, and black is a mammoth.

There is also no mention if the movie would be paying tribute to its original Japanese source. "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" famously edited in original American content with stock footage from the original Japanese source, a "sentai" series called "KyÅryÅ« Sentai Zyuranger."

The Wrap also released an image of all the actors in costume, albeit with their masks removed.

The movie will also star "Breaking Bad's" Bryan Cranston, who is reportedly playing Zordon, the leader of the Power Rangers. Elizabeth Banks has also been cast as the movie's intergalactic supervillain, Rita Repulsa.

The main cast are relatively newcomers: Becky G as Trini (Yellow Ranger), Ludi Lin as Zack (Black Ranger), Dacre Montgomery as Jason (Red Ranger), Naomi Scot as Kimberly (Pink Ranger), and RJ Cyler as Billy (Blue Ranger).

"Power Rangers" is set to hit theaters March 24, 2017.
