The man in black is back! Following yesterday's trailer and promo stills debut, EW has shared a first official look at Darth Vader, who will return for a confrontation with his old friend turned nemesis Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) in the upcoming Disney+ series.
Hayden Christensen is set to reprise the role, and while this image isn't exactly the most revealing, previously leaked concept art has suggested that we will see the actor's face at some point.
"I wish I could tell you," Christensen says when asked about the possibility of Vader removing his iconic helmet. "I'm sworn to secrecy." One thing the actor did promise is that: "We're going to see a very powerful Vader."
Specific plot details are under wraps, but we do know that Obi-Wan will be set between the events of Revenge Of The Sith and A New Hope. There are also rumors that younger versions of both Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa will appear, but that's yet to be confirmed.
McGregor and Christensen will be joined by Moses Ingram, Indira Varma, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Simone Kessell and Benny Safdie.
The Mandalorian director Deborah Chow is set to helm all episodes of the series, with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy on board as producer along-with Chow, Jason D. McGatlin (The Rise of Skywalker), Tracey Seaward (The Queen), and John Swartz (Rogue One).
Obi-Wan Kenobi premieres on Disney+ on May 25th.
