After it was recently announced Mary was going to perform in a one-night special of It’s A Wonderful Life opposite her husband and Supernatural‘s Jim Beaver, I have added a couple fan photos and credited everyone. You can view all the photos in the gallery.
Some new news has come out in regards to season 2 of Disney+’s Ahsoka. According to Indiewire, the upcoming second season of the streaming show will begin filming April 2025 and “will utilize multiple different film techniques. The first was shot entirely on volume stages.” As such, filming for the show will move from Los Angeles to The UK.
Lucasfilm has a number of TV projects in development, but “Ahsoka” is the only Lucasfilm project in active pre-production. Executive creative director Dave Filoni also recently gave an update on season 2:
“I’m so well into that as well… I’ve been writing it, and I’m still the single writer on it, and so I’ve been enjoying doing that, but it’s a challenge, of course, and working some of these arcs through has been a challenge and making sure it’s all going to come out in a way that I think is exciting for fans. I know that they’re interested in where some of the things I developed in Season 1. I’m pretty happy with it… Love working with Rosario [Dawson], so I can’t wait to get back to that.”
In other news, a new behind the scenes video of Mary as her character Hera in the show has been released now that season 1 of Ahsoka is out on Blu-ray. In the video, you can see how the look of Hera was created. I’ve also added screen caps of Mary from the video into the gallery. You can also purchase the DVD HERE.
Mary is getting back in touch with her theater side and is set to star in a Christmas play opposite her husband Ewan and ‘Supernatural’ actor Jim Beaver. The event will feature a performance of It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play by Joe Landry with Ewan McGregor and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as George and Mary Bailey and featuring Jim Beaver as Mr. Potter.
Taking place this Saturday, December 14th at the Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum Holiday Family Faire, the special performance will take place at 5pm with the faire open from 11am-5pm. Tickets can be purchased here.
It’s a great day to get your fix of the latest Mary news! First up, over the weekend, Mary and Ewan attended a special screening of A24’s newest film Babygirl which stars Nicole Kidman. They were there to support Ewan’s daughter Esther McGregor who also has a role in the film as Kidman’s daughter. In the new photos, you can clearly see that Mary has dyed her hair blonde for her upcoming film The Hand that Rocks the Cradle! You can check out the new pics in the gallery.
And speaking of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, it was reported earlier today that Smile 2‘s Raúl Castillo has joined the film in a supporting role as the architect husband of Winstead’s character, portrayed in the original 1992 film by Annabella Sciorra. Claire Bartel is happily married and pregnant for the second time when she becomes the target of a dark plot on the part of a nanny — originally portrayed by Rebecca De Mornay, and now by Monroe. Directed by Curtis Hanson, the original watches as Peyton infiltrates the lives of the Bartel family after experiencing personal and professional ruin, slowly gaining their trust while manipulating them from within. Her ultimate goal? To destroy Claire and assume her place within her family.
After new stills and plot details were released about Mary’s upcoming film ‘Rich Flu’, a trailer came out earlier this week and you can watch it below. As of now, the release date overseas is scheduled for January 25th. If any new release dates are announced, I will be sure to let everyone know. 🙂
Good morning, everyone! Some brand new stills of Mary in her upcoming film Rich Flu have been released as well as some new plot details.
Tidbits about the synopsis is as follows (with translation):
A new virus breaks out and wipes out the richest and most influential people in the world. Just when Laura (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) is on the verge of realizing all her dreams of social success. The executive of an up-and-coming streaming platform is accepted into the most elite circles thanks to a surprise promotion, can send her daughter Anna (Dixie Egerickx) to the most exclusive schools and no longer has to worry about finances. But the virus is cutting ever wider swathes through Western society: economic empires are faltering, the stock market collapses and widespread chaos breaks out. As all the rich try to get to safety from the metropolises, Laura also flees Europe along with her daughter, her husband (Rafe Spall) and her mother (Lorraine Bracco) on a highly risky route. But can the virus ever be far enough away?
Hopefully this means with new photos released, a trailer isn’t too far behind.
Mary is currently in San Antonio, TX for Space Con along with some of her Ahsoka co-stars along with Ewan and Hayden Christensen and yesterday, Mary took part in an ‘Ahsoka’ cast roundtable interview with Eman Esfandi who plays Ezra in the show.
She spoke about how long it takes her to get in and out of costume, how much she learned about her character before taking on the role of Hera, her favorite Star Wars collectible and more. You can watch the full interview below:
Earlier this month, Mary attended the 2024 Go Gala charity event as she has done the past 4 years with Ewan. The Go Campaign is a nonprofit organization that aims to improve the lives of vulnerable children and orphans around the world.
While on the press carpet, Mary also posed with the founder & CEO of the Go Campaign. Head to the gallery to view all the new pics!

As the headline states, Mary is currently in talks to join It Follows and Longlegs actress Maika Monroe in a remake of the 1992 thriller The Hand That Rocks the Cradle for 20th Century Fox.
According to Deadline, Michelle Garza Cervera will direct the pic, with Micah Bloomberg penning the script.
In the original film directed by Curtis Hanson, the ’92 film starred Rebecca de Mornay as a pregnant woman who is married to a sex offender; her husband eventually gets caught and kills himself after other victims come forward. This leads de Mornay’s character having a miscarriage, and she looks to exact revenge against one of her husband’s assault victims (Annabella Sciorra) and her family, leading to a bloody conflict between the two women. While the plot points for the new film remain hidden, the casting will see Winstead portray the part of the assault victim while Monroe will take over as the sex offender’s widow.
Mary was last seen opposite her husband Ewan McGregor in the Paramount+ series ‘A Gentleman in Moscow‘ and starring in Disney+’s Ahsoka series opposite Rosario Dawson.
What do you guys think of the news? I’m personally excited Mary is getting back into the horror/thriller genre! If you’re also curious, you can view the trailer for the original film below:
