    We are so blessed.

    Elizabeth Banks is a rad woman who's played some rad roles in her day.

    She taught us the value of a good wig as Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games, and how to accessorize barbecue sauce in Wet Hot American Summer.

    But Elizabeth Banks is taking it to the next level: She's going to be starring as RITA REPULSA IN THE NEW POWER RANGERS MOVIE.

    She officially announced the news on her Twitter account today.
