On October 31, 2025, Sony Pictures revealed that Mia McKenna-Bruce, Saoirse Ronan, Anna Sawai, and Aimee Lou Wood will star in Sam Mendes’ ambitious project The Beatles — A Four-Film Cinematic Event, set to premiere in April 2028.
The project is a collaboration between Sony Pictures, director Sam Mendes, and Neal Street Productions. The films will explore the personal and creative lives of The Beatles through the women who shared their journeys.
Maureen (Cox) Starkey, portrayed by Mia McKenna-Bruce, was an early fan of The Beatles who met Ringo Starr at the Cavern Club in 1962. Their relationship quickly deepened, and the couple married in 1965, later raising three children.
Linda (Eastman) McCartney, played by Saoirse Ronan, was a renowned photographer when she met Paul McCartney in 1967. Their connection was immediate, and McCartney recalled his first impression of her:
“The first time I saw her, I just knew.”
Yoko Ono, brought to life by Anna Sawai, first crossed paths with John Lennon at a London exhibition featuring her work. Their meeting marked the beginning of one of music history’s most discussed creative unions.
The four-part cinematic event is scheduled to hit theaters worldwide in April 2028. The films will celebrate love, art, and the enduring cultural impact of The Beatles through a fresh and emotional perspective.
This announcement introduces an all-star ensemble cast for Sam Mendes’ four-part Beatles saga, blending artistry and emotion to reimagine the stories behind the music’s most iconic muses.
