Ewan McGregor Confirms Mary Elizabeth Winstead Is Joining Star Wars
Ewan McGregor has confirmed that his wife, actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead, is set to join the Star Wars universe in the Disney+ series Ahsoka. McGregor, who played Obi-Wan in the Star Wars prequel movies, is set to return to his iconic role for this May's long-awaited spin-off show Obi-Wan Kenobi. The series, which follows recent Disney Star Wars anthology shows including The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, follows on almost directly from where McGregor was last seen in 2005's Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
McGregor married fellow Hollywood star Winstead last month. The two had been dating since 2017, when they starred opposite each other in Fargo. Winstead's lengthy career includes fan-favorite films such as Final Destination 3 and Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. Sites online reported earlier this year that Winstead was due to follow in her husband's footsteps and was set to appear in Ahsoka, which will follow Rosario Dawson as the former apprentice of Anakin Skywalker.
