Get ready for an unforgettable cinematic journey as Saoirse Ronan and Aimee Lou Wood join the Beatles biopics, bringing iconic figures to life with passion and flair.

A New Chapter in Beatles Biopics Unfolds

If you’ve ever dreamed of stepping into the world of the Beatles, 2028 is shaping up to be your year. The legendary Fab Four — John, Paul, George, and Ringo — are about to be immortalized in an ambitious series of four films, each focusing on a single band member. Directed by the acclaimed Sam Mendes, whose credits include 1917, Skyfall, and American Beauty, this cinematic event promises to capture the heart and soul of the Beatles like never before.

The talented Saoirse Ronan and Aimee Lou Wood are set to portray key figures in the Beatles' story.

Star-Studded Casting Brings Beatles to Life

Earlier this year, the casting news started flooding in. Harris Dickinson will step into John Lennon’s shoes, while Paul Mescal takes on the role of Paul McCartney. Joseph Quinn and Barry Keoghan round out the lineup as George Harrison and Ringo Starr, respectively. Now, Sony Pictures has confirmed some exciting new additions — and it’s a lineup that’s as impressive as the band itself.

Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan, beloved for her roles in Lady Bird and Brooklyn, is cast as Linda McCartney. Fans had been buzzing with speculation, and now it’s official: Ronan will bring the warmth and strength of Paul’s wife and creative partner to the screen.

Meanwhile, Aimee Lou Wood, known for her standout work in The White Lotus and Film Club, will portray Pattie Boyd, George Harrison’s muse and partner. Adding to the vibrant cast, Anna Sawai will play the enigmatic Yoko Ono, and Mia McKenna-Bruce steps into the role of Maureen Starkey, Ringo Starr’s wife.

“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.” — Sam Mendes

A Closer Look at the Beatles’ Inner Circle

What’s truly exciting is how these biopics promise to explore the fascinating personal lives behind the music. Linda McCartney’s story is especially touching — meeting Paul in 1967 while working as a photographer, marrying him in 1969, and later collaborating musically in Wings after the Beatles disbanded.

Yoko Ono’s relationship with John Lennon is another legend retold. Their paths crossed in 1966 at one of her London art exhibitions, leading to their marriage in 1969 after Lennon’s split from Cynthia Powell.

George Harrison and Pattie Boyd’s romance blossomed on the set of A Hard Day’s Night in 1964, culminating in their marriage from 1966 to 1977. Boyd’s later marriage to Eric Clapton adds even more rock ’n’ roll lore to the mix.

And of course, there’s Ringo and Maureen Starkey’s love story — meeting when she was just 16 and working as a hairdresser, their decade-long marriage from 1965 to 1975, and her passing in 1994.

Music, Memories, and Method Acting

Paul Mescal, who portrays McCartney, revealed in September that he’ll be doing his own singing for the films. Having spent time with the real Paul McCartney, Mescal shared, “He’s an extraordinary man. Like to spend any time – it’s a crazy sentence to say that I’ve spent time with that man, let alone play him.”

Barry Keoghan has similarly expressed the profound impact of meeting Ringo Starr. “When I was talking to him, I couldn’t look at him. I was nervous, like right now. But he’s like, ‘You can look at me.’ My job is to observe and kinda take in mannerisms and study him. I want to humanize him and bring feelings to it and not just sort of imitate.”

This dedication promises a fresh, heartfelt portrayal of the Beatles that goes beyond mere impersonation and dives deep into their humanity.

A Cinematic Beatles Experience Like No Other

The Beatles - A Four-Film Cinematic Event is slated for release in April 2028 with each film telling a unique piece of the band’s story, yet intertwining to create a complete narrative mosaic. It’s the first time the Beatles' music and life rights are officially granted for such a theatrical feature, adding authenticity and depth to the project.

Fans can anticipate a sweeping saga that balances the band's public legend with intimate personal stories—an homage to their enduring legacy and the lives of those who surrounded them.
