We now know who will play the love interests of each of The Beatles in the upcoming four-part Fab Four biopic — and the cast is stacked.
The Beatles — A Four-Film Cinematic Event revealed that Saoirse Ronan will play Paul McCartney‘s wife Linda McCartney, Shogun‘s Anna Sawai will play John Lennon‘s wife Yoko Ono, The White Lotus‘ Aimee Lou Wood will play George Harrison‘s wife Pattie Boyd, and How to Have Sex‘s Mia McKenna-Bruce will play Ringo Starr‘s wife Maureen Starkey.
The actresses will join Paul Mescal (McCartney), Harris Dickinson (Lennon), Barry Keoghan (Starr), and Joseph Quinn (Harrison).
“Maureen, Linda, Yoko and Pattie are four fascinating and unique figures in their own right – and I’m thrilled that we’ve managed to persuade four of the most talented women working in film today to join this amazing adventure,” director Sam Mendes said in a statement.
The Beatles biopics will kick off in theaters starting in April 2028. Mendes will direct four different films, each told from the perspective of the four bandmates. They will all intersect to tell the full story of the band’s history, according to a press release.
This will be the first time that The Beatles and Apple Corps Ltd. have authorized the use of the band members’ life stories and music in scripted films. Sony Pictures is also financier of the projects, in addition to distributing.
