The wait is finally over. The newest casting for Sam Mendes’ upcoming Beatles biopic series has been revealed — and with it, a wave of nostalgia, reverence, and quiet wonder. Under the glow of cinematic light, four women step forward, each carrying the soul of a different love story — and the unseen heartbeats behind the greatest music ever made.
💬 “They were more than muses,” Mendes whispered in a statement to the press. “They were the heartbeat behind the melody.”
Aimee Lou Wood transforms into Pattie Boyd, the luminous muse of both George Harrison and Eric Clapton — a woman whose beauty and spirit helped define the very idea of love in the 1960s. Anna Sawai steps into the complex, quiet fire of Yoko Ono, where art met chaos and forever changed the destiny of a band. Saoirse Ronan, with her poise and depth, embodies Linda Eastman McCartney, the lens of love that softened Paul’s world and anchored his life beyond fame. And Mia McKenna-Bruce brings grace and tenderness to Maureen Cox Starkey, Ringo’s first and fiercest devotion — the girl who stood by him before the world called him a Beatle.
These aren’t background figures — they are the other half of history. Four women, four stories intertwined with fame, faith, and heartbreak.
The project, titled The Beatles — A Four-Film Cinematic Event, will see Sam Mendes direct four separate feature films — one from the perspective of each Beatle — all converging into a single emotional narrative when viewed together. For the first time ever, Apple Corps Ltd. and the surviving Beatles have granted full rights to their likenesses and music. The films are currently in pre-production, with a worldwide release planned for April 2028.
The casting announcements follow the already-confirmed portrayals of the Fab Four: Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr, and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison. Together, this ensemble promises to breathe new life into a story that has shaped generations — a story not of fame, but of humanity.
Behind every chord and every photograph, there were the women who witnessed the chaos and carried the calm. They were the ones who loved, endured, and understood the cost of greatness.
When the lights dim and the reels begin to spin, their faces will do more than reenact history — they will remind us that behind every song that changed the world, there was a love that dared to be real.
And at long last, those loves are stepping out of the shadows and into the story they helped create.
