Ewan McGregor Movies: Every Film Credit, 1994–2026

Ewan McGregor has film credits spanning 32 years, from 1994 to 2026. A filmography that runs that long stops being a list of jobs and starts being a record of how the industry changed around someone: the kinds of film available to a performer in 1994 and in 2026 have little in common, and the 71 titles below cross that shift rather than sitting on one side of it.

One frame per year from 1994 to 2026, filled where a credit lands, empty where none does. The empty frames are the informative part: a filmography is usually described by its total, and the total is the one thing that hides the gaps.

Films here with a full cast list

One of these films has a cast page on this site, so the rest of the ensemble is one click away.

• Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens

The shape of the career

The first credit on record is 1994 and the most recent is 2026, with work in 29 separate years. 2015 was the busiest single year, with 6 credits landing in it, the kind of cluster that usually reflects films shot earlier arriving at once rather than an unusually productive twelve months.

The longest gap runs 3 years, between 2023 and 2026. A gap that size in a screen filmography is worth noticing rather than smoothing over: it is where the record stops describing a run of work and starts describing whatever happened instead, a project that collapsed, a move into other media, or simply nothing being offered.

What those films actually are

One of these credits sits in a film this site holds full cast data for, which is worth spelling out because a title on its own says very little.

Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens (2015) , directed by J. J. Abrams carries 59 credited performers, with Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi. An ensemble that large means most of its cast go unlisted everywhere else, which is the gap the cast page for it fills.

Reading the list

71 credits across 29 working years averages out at roughly 2.4 per year in the years with any work at all, a figure worth treating carefully, because release dates bunch and a filmography is a record of when films came OUT rather than when they were made. Of the 71 credits, 11 carry a character name, so the rest are placed by film and year alone.

What this page is built from

Structured film records, pulled by the same process that produces the cast pages here, not written from memory, which for credit data is how errors get in. What that source is reliable about is who was credited. What it carries unevenly is character names, and what it almost never carries is billing order, so nothing here calls any of these 71 credits a lead role, because the data cannot support that claim.

Questions about Ewan McGregor

How many films has Ewan McGregor been in?

71 credited film roles are on record, running from 1994 to 2026. That counts feature credits only, so television and uncredited appearances are not included.

When was Ewan McGregor most active in film?

The 2010s, with 25 of the 71 credits. The full spread across decades is listed above.

Why are some roles missing?

Character names are recorded for 11 of the 71 credits. The source is reliable about who was cast and patchy about what they were called, so the rest say the role is not recorded instead of leaving a blank that reads like an oversight.

Where do these details come from?

Structured film records pulled from Wikidata by the same process that builds the cast pages here, cross-checked against each film's own listed cast rather than written from memory. Where the record is thin — a missing character name, an unconfirmed billing order — the page says so, which is more useful than a confident sentence with nothing behind it.
