Bill Hader is Alpha Five in Power Rangers 2017, the highly anticipated reboot of the beloved Power Rangers franchise, according to the film’s Twitter page. This comes right on the heels of the reveal of the Rangers’ new Zords, shown off earlier this week. More has been shown off about the film in the last two weeks than the last two years.
Hader is most notably known for his work on Saturday Night Live and his extensive filmography, mostly in a comedic role. He even contributed to the voice of BB-8 from The Force Awakens.
Lionsgate, the studio putting out the film, has put out this description:
“Saban’s 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.”
Power Rangers 2017 is set to be released in theaters on March 24, 2017.
