‘Star Wars: Rogue One’ Final Trailer Coming In October
If you’re hungry for more footage fromRogue One: A Star Wars Story(and if you’re reading this story, we’re guessing you are), you may look forward to a big fat meal in just a few weeks. Disney reportedly plans to unveil theRogue Onefinal trailer in October, about two months before the film hits theaters in December. Get all the details below.
Star Wars News Nethas a report from the Kino Expo International in St. Petersburg. During a presentation, Elena Brodskaya, marketing director of Disney’s Russian subdivision, revealed that theRogue Onefinal trailer would be attached toDoctor Strange, which opens October 28th in Russia. Both the Marvel and Star Wars franchises are owned by Disney, so it just makes sense for the studio to use one to market the other.
In the U.S.,Doctor Strangedoesn’t open until November 4, but we’re guessing the trailer will hit our shores shortly before then. Last year the finalStar Wars: The Force Awakenstrailer hit in October, timed with the start of ticket pre-sales. While Disney hasn’t announced an on-sale date forRogue One, we suspect they will employ a similar strategy forRogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Although the nextRogue Onetrailer will be the finalRogue Onetrailer, that doesn’t necessarily mean Disney is done revealing new footage from the movie. In the case ofStar Wars: The Force Awakens, international trailers, and TV spots continued to dole out new bits and pieces even after the final trailer had hit.
Disney’s marketing team did a great job withThe Force Awakens, showing just enough to get fans excited without giving away too many of the film’s secrets. So far they’ve exhibited the same restraint withRogue One. We know the basic premise of the movie, and we’ve seen many of the new characters and settings, but there’s a lot we haven’t seen. Could this trailer show more of the exciting footage revealed atStar Wars Celebration?
We’ll find out in the coming weeks.Rogue One: A Star Wars Storyhits theatersDecember 16.
