Bryan Cranston teased what his version of Zordon will be like in the upcoming “Power Rangers” movie.

“It’s motion capture, and it’s a lot of CGI-work,” the actor told E ntertainment Tonight. “The tenant of that storyline is that this a real person who is trapped in this etherworld and it becomes this in-the-wall so to speak of [the command center].”

“He still has a heart and mind, but an agenda that he’s got to get these five Power Rangers to defend the earth or else everyone they know will be killed,” the actor added.

Cranston voiced villains like Snizard and Twin Man in the “Power Rangers” TV series, but it was announced earlier this month that the former “Breaking Bad” star received an upgraded role in the upcoming reboot.

The team of multi-colored Rangers consists of mostly relative newcomers: singer Becky G as Yellow Ranger Trini, Ludi Lin as Black Ranger Zack, Dacre Montgomery as Red Ranger Jason, Naomi Scott as Pink Ranger Kimberly, and RJ Cyler as Blue Ranger Billy.
