First ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ Poster Confirms Release Date; Possible Super Bowl Trailer

The first Obi-Wan Kenobi poster has been released which confirms a May 25, 2022 release date, and it also may mean a Super Bowl trailer will be released this Sunday.

The poster featuring Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan on Tatooine gets released following Wednesday’s last episode of The Book of Boba Fett as well as the earlier accidental leak of the May release.

StarWars.com offers that one of the greatest Jedi ever is back for a new mission which features Ewan McGregor reprising his role as the iconic Jedi Master.

The story begins 10 years after the dramatic events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, in which Obi-Wan Kenobi faced his greatest defeat — the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, who turned to the dark side and became the evil Sith Lord, Darth Vader.

The series also marks the return of Hayden Christensen in the role of Darth Vader, and joining the cast includes Moses Ingram, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell, and Benny Safdie.

An earlier rumor said Moses Ingram, Rupert Friend, and Sung Kang are playing Inquisitors.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is executive-produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Michelle Rejwan, Deborah Chow, Ewan McGregor, and Joby Harold.

Regarding the possibility of an Obi-Wan Kenobi Super Bowl trailer, it has recently been reported that Disney may be releasing trailers for Doctor Strange 2 and Moon Knight, but with this first poster release, an Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer could be dropping Sunday at Super Bowl 56.
