‘Power Rangers’ star Bryan Cranston assures 2017 film is about real kids

“Power Rangers” movie star Bryan Cranston (Zordon) has teased fans about the upcoming film adaptation of “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers,” saying this time, the kids sound like real kids and that it is all about storytelling. The actor has also explained why he gave the film a chance.

Cranston has accepted his role in the film when he realised that the 2017 “Power Rangers” movie is not going to resemble the original television series. He has confessed that he actually had trepidation at first.

“I thought, ‘Power Rangers? It’s kind of the [1960s] Batman television show - Pow! Zing! Whap!,” Cranston explained. But then he realised that the film will be grounded and real.

When Cranston has read the script of the “Power Rangers” 2017 film for the first time, he thought it went right. He believes the film would be a good bookend to what he was doing since he began doing voices.

Cranston has also taken some time to describe the role he portrays. He said Zordon is the mentor of the teenage superheroes and he is frustrated because they are not progressing as how they want themselves to be. He even revealed that the new young heroes are not taking their responsibility seriously.

Zordon as their mentor wants to break down the individuality of the teen superheroes. He hopes that the teens will grow as a team. As noted by IGN, Cranston shared during the Television Critics Association (TCA) winter press tour that being a mentor almost feels like being a coach.

Cranston is best known for portraying the character of Walter White on the television drama, “Breaking Bad.” White is a school teacher turned meth kingpin. He also appeared as Buzz Aldrin in the Tom Hanks television miniseries titled “From the Earth to the Moon” in 1998 and portrayed an American colonel in “Saving Private Ryan” on the same year.

His career received a big boost in 2000 when he portrayed a character named Hal opposite Jane Kaczmarek's Lois on hit Fox sitcom “Malcolm in the Middle.” His performance has garnered three supporting actor in Emmy Award nominations.

The “Power Rangers” film adaptation is under the direction of Dean Israelite. The film is his second major motion picture after “Project Almanac,” a sci-fi adventure about a group of teens who travel back in time for personal gain.

Cranston is excited for the film to come out in a few months. “Power Rangers” film is expected to hit Australia theatres on March 23.
