Now that the Star Wars Celebration event has wrapped in London, I will begin posting some interviews Mary did while she was there promoting the show with the cast & crew. The first interview comes from one she did yesterday (4/8) with Rosario Dawson & Natasha Liu Bordizzo talking about how they feel joining the Star Wars universe and learning about their characters:

In another interview, Mary talks more about how happy she feels joining the Star Wars franchise and what a joy it is to work on the character and with the cast and crew who all love Star Wars:

Mary also spoke with ET Canda about how she feels joining the Star Wars franchise (around the 2:35 mark):

And in another interview with Screen Rant, Mary was asked if her husband Ewan McGregor any advice joining the series and if she’d love her character to team up with Obi-Wan:

I don’t know that he gave me any advice necessarily, other than to just enjoy it. He just told me about what a special experience it is to get to be part of something that means so much to so many people. And that already is proving true just today. And, yeah! I think if there was any way to make the timelines match up in some way, I would be incredibly happy to do that.

Stay tuned for even more ‘Ahsoka’ interviews with Mary to be released soon!

More Cast Members Join ‘A Gentleman in Moscow’

A brand new set of actors and actresses have been added to the cast of A Gentleman in Moscow. Deadline reports that several people have joined the series including  Leah Harvey, Johnny Harris, Paul Ready, Alexa Goodall, John Heffernan, Lyès Salem, Fehinti Balogun, Björn Hlynur Haraldsson, Dee Ahluwalia and Anastasia Hille have joined Ewan McGregor and Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the ensemble drama that eOne is making in association with Paramount.

The Count and Anna’s sizzling chemistry is clear from the moment they meet in the Metropol Hotel where he has been banished by a Soviet trial, but will this be true love, or just the latest in a long line of roles Anna is playing?”

Mary Elizabeth Winstead Joins Ewan McGregor in New Series

In some amazing news, it has been reported by Variety that Mary Elizabeth Winstead has joined her husband in the new Paramount+ & Showtime series ‘A Gentleman in Moscow‘. Based on the Amor Towles novel of the same name, the series follows Count Alexander Rostov (McGregor) who, in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, finds that his gilded past places him on the wrong side of history. Spared immediate execution, he is banished by a Soviet tribunal to an attic room in the opulent Hotel Metropol, threatened with death if he ever sets foot outside again. As the years pass and some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history unfold outside the hotel’s doors, Rostov’s reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery. As he builds a new life within the walls of the hotel, he discovers the true value of friendship, family and love.”

Winstead will star as Anna Urbanova, described as “a glamorous, independent and self-made film actress, at the height of her fame. She uses her wit and beauty to dazzle Count Alexander Rostov. She’s an enigmatic character who keeps her cards very close to her chest. Reluctant to reveal her true self, Anna plays a role off-screen as well as on. The Count and Anna’s sizzling chemistry is clear from the moment they meet in the Metropol Hotel where he has been banished by a Soviet trial, but will this be true love, or just the latest in a long line of roles Anna is playing?”

This will mark the third time Mary and Ewan work together on screen. The couple first worked together on season 3 of FX’s series ‘Fargo’ where they met and then again in 2020’s Birds of Prey opposite Margot Robbie. Filming for ‘A Gentleman in Moscow’ is currently taking place, so fingers crossed we get some new set photos of Mary!
