After more than four decades since his passing, the iconic Jamaican reggae superstar, Bob Marley, is at long last receiving a motion picture biopic. So, prepare yourself for a captivating and poignant journey delving into the life of one of the most influential musicians in history.

Here's the first official trailer for "Bob Marley: One Love," the much-anticipated musical biographical drama that tells the remarkable life story of the pioneering reggae legend, who is known for spreading the message of unity, love, and social change through his soul-stirring reggae music.

Assuming the mantle of Bob Marley in the film is acclaimed British actor Kingsley Ben-Adir, known for his current co-starring role in the MCU miniseries "Secret Invasion." Following an extensive worldwide casting search, Ben-Adir secured the role of the reggae icon. However, this is not the first instance where this acclaimed actor has stepped into the shoes of a beloved historical figure. In the 2020 cinematic gem "One Night in Miami," Ben-Adir skillfully embodied the character of Malcolm X, a role that garnered him immense praise and recognition from critics.

Under the direction of the acclaimed filmmaker Reinaldo Marcus Green, who previously directed "King Richard" and the miniseries "We Own This City," the film takes audiences on an emotionally-charged journey through the life of Bob Marley. Charting his meteoric rise to stardom during the 1970s and the failed assassination attempt on his life, the movie offers an intimate exploration of Marley's extraordinary career and the profound impact he had on the world through his music.

Taking on the role of Rita Marley, Bob Marley's beloved wife, is British actress Lashana Lynch, known for her performances in "The Woman King" and "No Time to Die." Meanwhile, the real-life Rita Marley serves as one of the producers, alongside their renowned musician son, Ziggy Marley.

"Bob Marley: One Love" is slated for a theatrical release on February 14, 2024, by Paramount Pictures. In the meantime, watch the teaser above.
