Hayden Christensen will be returning to the SW Universe, as it's been announced that he'll be playing Darth Vader in the Disney+ Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi series.
"It was such an incredible journey playing Anakin Skywalker", Christensen said in a press release. "Of course, Anakin and Obi-Wan weren't on the greatest of terms when we last saw them… It will be interesting to see what an amazing director like Deborah Chow has in store for us all. I'm excited to work with Ewan again. It feels good to be back".
