The official cast for “The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event” includes Saoirse Ronan, Anna Sawai, Aimee Lou Wood, and Mia McKenna-Bruce, who will portray the wives of the band members. Each actress plays a distinct spouse of the Fab Four during the peak of the band's fame in the 1960s.

These casting choices were recently finalized, with Sony Pictures officially announcing the news. The project is directed by Sam Mendes, who expressed excitement about working with these talented actresses.
“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,” said Mendes.
Film Structure and Focus
The four films will explore the journey of each Beatle from their beginnings in Liverpool through their global rise and eventual breakup in 1970. The lead actors portraying the band members are:
