About this listen
Margaret Qualley is having one of the most dynamic weeks of her career, with news breaking on multiple fronts and a spotlight brighter than ever. On the cover of Cosmopolitan’s 60th anniversary issue, Qualley opened up in a rare, in-depth interview about womanhood, double texting, and her marriage to Bleachers frontman Jack Antonoff. Photographed along her beloved Jersey Shore, the setting was the same coastal enclave where she married Jack in August 2023 at a star-studded ceremony, which TikTok users are still circulating thanks to cameos from Taylor Swift, Zoë Kravitz, Cara Delevingne, and Lana Del Rey. Margaret gushed in the interview about falling in love, crediting her sister Rainey for orchestrating that crucial first meeting as lockdowns lifted. She described her happiness and newfound self-understanding as the highest it’s ever been, and assured readers she meditates twice a day and fiercely guards her digital downtime—a sharp contrast to the hyper-connected pace of Hollywood, as detailed in Cosmopolitan.
On the professional front, Qualley is everywhere this week. According to Cosmopolitan, Honey Don’t!, her new film with Aubrey Plaza—a lesbian detective caper and second entry in Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke’s Drive-Away Dolls trilogy—has just been announced as a Cannes Film Festival premiere. Meanwhile, Richard Linklater’s Blue Moon, in which she also stars, is set for a fall festival debut, and she’s currently filming Happy Gilmore 2, the hotly anticipated sequel to the Adam Sandler comedy.
Even more breaking, as reported by ArcaMax and confirmed in other outlets, Qualley is set to headline King Snake, a gothic horror directed by Jeff Nichols and featuring Drew Starkey and Michael Shannon. She’ll play a woman who, alongside her partner, inherits a haunted Arkansas farm—a major move that further strengthens her reputation for choosing bold and offbeat projects. When pressed this week on Collider’s podcast, she declared she’s not ready for franchise commitments, citing her “commitment-phobe” tendencies, though she’d consider it for the right director.
Qualley also made news on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, opening up about the toll of intense prosthetic work for The Substance, where she played a younger, “more perfect” version of Demi Moore’s character. She revealed the makeup left her with damaged skin and acne for nearly a year, a raw detail echoed in IMDb’s reporting and visible in her subsequent project, Kinds of Kindness, where she channeled the physical aftermath into a character’s look.
On social media, Margaret continues to cultivate a bit of mystique; she avoids apps on her phone except for Uber, texts, and maps, using a separate device with Wi-Fi only for Instagram. Clips of Margaret and Aubrey Plaza at Cannes have also gone viral, fueling both fan affection and press speculation about their real-life friendship and onscreen chemistry.
While there are no major controversies or unconfirmed rumors circulating at this moment, every headline this week points to Margaret Qualley’s status as not just a Hollywood “it girl,” but a thoughtful artist with a carefully curated body of work and personal life.
