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!

The first official poster for Mary’s upcoming film ‘Rich Flu‘ has been released courtesy of Filmax! According to the site, the upcoming thriller follows the story of a deadly virus that begins to infect the world’s richest people just as Laura (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) is at her most successful and rising professional stage. The virus seems to affect only the billionaires at first, but it soon spreads to encompass more modest wealth, forcing everyone to get rid of their fortunes. The problem is, there’s no one left to sell them to… Class struggle and pandemic sci-fi go hand in hand in this dystopia from the director of the multi-award-winning The Hole.
Starring alongside Mary, the film will also include Timothy Spall, Lorraine Bracco, Rafe Spall and Jonah Hauer-King. A release date is scheduled for January 25, 2025 in Spain.
You can view the HQ photo in the gallery and as always, I will update information about the film as its revealed. Here’s hoping a trailer is riiiight around the corner. đ
Update: I have added more photos of Mary at the event as well (totaling over 60+) as an additional video.
In some (obvious) news, Mary was in Los Angeles today on September 12, 2024 to commemorate Ewan getting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Mary and Ewan were joined by their son Laurie and three of his children he had with his ex-wife including eldest daughter Clara, Jamyan McGregor and Anouk McGregor.
While Mary did not speak at the ceremony, she posed with Ewan and the rest of the family. I have uploaded some photos of the event into the gallery, but will definitely be adding more soon so stay tuned! I’ve also embedded the entire ceremony for everyone to view below:
We finally have a HUGE update on Mary’s long-awaited film ‘Rich Flu’! Remember, the last update we got on this film was way back in November of 2022 when Mary was spotted filming some scenes for the upcoming movie and the news hadn’t come out until February 2023 that she was part of the cast once she replaced Rosamund Pike.
Now it has been revealed that the film will premiere at TIFF on Friday, September 6. However, that first screening will only be accessible to accredited buyers during the Festival. On the TIFF website, the film is also marked as an industry select, making it one of 10 films that go beyond the Official Selection, and are all available for worldwide acquisition.
Basically, after its screening, we’ll eventually find out what studio picks it up to distribute it. In the meantime, the first official photo of Mary in the film has been released, and I have added the full-sized photo in the gallery.
The film’s full plot is as follows:
A strange and unexpected disease is taking the lives of the world’s wealthiest and most influential people. First, the billionaires die, then the multi-millionaires, and so on progressively. The pandemic threatens to reach anyone with any kind of fortune. No one knows where the limit is. At first, the masses joyfully welcome the disappearance of great fortunes, but as the collapse of their economic empires affects the stock market, employment, and economic stability, chaos takes over the First World.
So excited to finally hear some news about it!
Now that Mary and Ewan spend part of their time living in Scotland, the married couple have been spotted around the country. Most recently, the two stopped by Rachel House childrenâs hospice in Kinross. Ewan, who was also accompanied by brother Colin and his wife Sarah, was given a tour of the hospice by CHAS CEO Rami Okasha before meeting five children with life-shortening conditions who are supported by the charity.
One of the mothers of the families Ewan visited had this to say after meeting Mary and Ewan:
âHe came over for a wee visit with his wife Mary and they were both so lovely. Freya is having a BIPAP trial and he came in to see us. They spent a bit of time chatting to us and he was really interested in Freyaâs trial.”
âMy oldest daughter Katie was there as well so she was really excited to meet his wife, she was a big fan of her films when she was younger. Katie loved watching Robots when she was little – Ewan McGregor did the voiceover for that so she was pretty excited to meet him too.
âEwan was very interested in us and as he was leaving, he touched Freyaâs hand and said ‘Bye Freya’ and it was such a lovely gesture.
âThey were both such lovely people, they really took an interest in us and Freya.â
Ewan spent time chatting with all parents and later treated families, staff and volunteers to an impromptu singsong in the lounge area.
You can view photos of their visit in the gallery and donate/learn more about the charity here.
Last weekend on June 29th and 30th, Mary and some of her Ahsoka co-stars including Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Diana Lee Inosanto and Eman Esfandi traveled to the UK to take part in this year’s Starfury Invasion Con where they talked about the Disney+ show. Credit goes to all the respective owners. You can view all the photos in the gallery.
You can also read about one attendee’s take on attending the event with additional pictures here.
Earlier this month, Mary and Ewan were photographed in Variety for their work in ‘A Gentleman in Moscow‘ and a new outtake has been released from the publication for the Emmy’s photo studio. You can view the new high quality pic in the gallery.
Mary and Ewan got interviewed and photographed for the latest issue of Variety‘s extra edition. Below are some highlights of their interview. Along with the Q&A, the couple were also photographed and you can view their new photo shoot in the gallery. A motion cover edition was also uploaded on the Variety account.

Ewan McGregor and Mary Elizabeth Winstead on Imposter Syndrome, Reprising Old Characters and How Parenthood Changed Everythinghttps://t.co/xHduOMiYUV pic.twitter.com/5XodwUne5l

At this point, McGregor was already attached to the project as an executive producer, but he wasnât sure the role would be big enough for Winstead. Plus, she wanted to make sure that they were actually interested in it for her â not just because he was suggesting it. Once discussions began and they found a way to elevate the character, she was in.
âIâve been dying to do something properly together since we did âFargo,ââ she says. âI really didnât expect it to be as great of a role as it ended up being. I just felt so lucky.â
Mary on taking the role of Anna Urbanova and how her prep for roles has changed:
âWeâre very similar. Iâm always really nervous in the beginning, like leading up to it and then having that impostor syndrome moment where youâre like, âOh, my God, I thought I was gonna be great in this role and now Iâm regretting taking it because I donât know what Iâm doing!â And then you get swept away and it becomes enjoyable,â she says.
By the time the day is over, âeverythingâs so frantic having a baby at home,â that thatâs completely where her focus goes. âWhen youâre off set, youâre just a parent. You donât really have time to think about how you feel about the character right now. Youâre just thrown into bath [time] and dinner,â she says. âI donât analyze things nearly as much as I did. You donât have the time to sit and overanalyze and stew and worry and all of those things. You just have to show up and kick yourself into gear.â
On recording Scott Pilgrim Takes off & filming AGIM:
âIt was really interestingly cathartic,â she says of diving back in. Since she was already so invested in âGentleman in Moscowâ when she took it on, Winstead had no idea how unique it would feel to step back into the universe in a whole new way.
âAs we started getting more and more into the episodes, it was just such a joy. They did such an amazing job â so beautiful and profound, what they were talking about and where they were taking the characters. So, to be doing that with a role thatâs formative for me was unexpectedly emotional. It meant so much,â she says. âI tried to reach back into my brain and go back to my 24-year-old self and find that voice again.â
