Cranston, primarily known for his role as Walter White in Breaking Bad, has a pretty iconic face and voice at this point. While he has played many great characters over his long acting career, it’s easy to picture him in the Zordon role.

Zordon speaks to the Rangers in the 90s TV series
The new movie, due to be released in March of 2017, is currently in the middle of filming. While Zordon may not be a massive part of the movie (after all, he is just a floating head), his arch nemesis Rita (to be played by Elizabeth Banks) is sure to be front and centre.
It’s unclear at this point if Cranston has signed on for more than one film. Lionsgate has planned out seven Power Rangers movies over the next 10 years or so, so it’s possible we’ll be seeing more of him.
In other Power Rangers news (via Twitter), a new teaser poster for the film has been revealed. It’s a moody feel compared to the campy-90’s vibe from the series, check it out!
Together We Are More
David is a lover of all things nerdy & geeky! (Nerd IS the new cool after all!)
From the wee age of 6 he made his way to a Canadian Tire, purchased a SNES for $200 in in-store credit money (Canadian Tire money for Canadians out there), and hasn’t looked back!
He loves the classics like Donkey Kong, Mario, and Roller Coaster Tycoon, but is deep into the new age of gaming with Heroes of the Storm, Apex Legends, and indies like Thomas Was Alone, and Mark of the Ninja.
