Bill Hader voices Alpha 5 in the Power Rangers movie

Bill Hader will lend his voice to Alpha 5 in the new “Power Rangers” movie.

Lionsgate and Saban have confirmed that the 38-year-old actor, who has voiced characters in films such as Pixar’s Inside Out, will portray the robot in the reboot of the Mighty Morphin Powers Rangers television series, which first hit theaters in 1993 and ran for 20 years.

A post on the official Twitter account of the “Power Rangers” movie revealed: “Aye-yi-yi! Welcome #BillHader as #Alpha5 in the #PowerRangersMovie – coming in 2017. (sic)”

The “Sausage Party” voice actor joins a star-studded cast that includes Elizabeth Banks and Bryan Cranston, who play Rita Repulsa and Zordon, respectively, in the highly anticipated film.

Lionsgate had previously announced that the company could potentially produce up to “six or seven” more “Power Rangers” films.

The characters are set to hit the big screen in March next year, but before the blockbuster hits theaters, the filmmakers are already thinking about further sequels.

Jon Feltheimer, CEO of Lionsgate, said: “We are really, really excited about the ‘Power Rangers’ movie. We could imagine making five, six or seven of them.”

The film “Power Rangers” revisits the origins of the action heroes: a group of high school kids equipped with alien powers who join forces to save the world.

Feltheimer said the response to the costume reveal has been positive – the characters wore powerful suits of transparent armor that crystallize around the bodies of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers – indicating audience interest.

Lionsgate has teamed up with Dean Israelite (“Project Almanac”) to direct the film and cast five young actors in the lead roles – American singer and actress Becky G as the Yellow Ranger, Ludi Lin (“Monster Hunt”) as the Black Ranger, Naomi Scott (“Terra Nova”) as the Pink Ranger, Dacre Montgomery (“Horrible Bertrand”) as the Red Ranger and RJ Cyler (“Me and Earl and the Girl”) as the Blue Ranger.
