Beatles Movies Cast Lucy Boynton, Harry Lawtey, Morfydd Clark, Farhan Akhtar

Director Sam Mendes is rounding out the call sheet for “The Beatles — A Four-Film Cinematic Event,” his upcoming cinematic extravaganza about the wildly popular British band.

“Bhaag Milkha Bhaag” star Farhan Akhtar will portray influential Indian composer Ravi Shankar, “Bohemian Rhapsody” actor Lucy Boynton is joining as British actress and girlfriend of Paul McCartney Jane Asher, “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” breakout Morfydd Clark will play John Lennon’s first wife Cynthia Lennon, and “Industry’s” Harry Lawtey has been cast as the band’s original bass guitarist Stuart Sutcliffe.  They’ll star alongside Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Harrison Dickinson as John Lennon, Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison in “The Beatles — A Four-Film Cinematic Event.”

As the title suggests, Mendes is making four separate movies — one from each Beatles member’s point of view — that will intersect to capture the band’s improbable journey from Liverpool to the center of global culture, leading to their 1970 breakup. This marks the first time that Apple Corps Ltd. and The Beatles have granted full life story and music rights for a scripted film. All four installments will debut on the big screen in April 2028.

As previously announced, Saoirse Ronan, Anna Sawai, Aimee Lou Wood and Mia McKenna-Bruce are playing Linda McCartney, Yoko Ono, Pattie Boyd and Maureen Starkey, respectively. Meanwhile, James Norton will play the band’s influential manager Brian Epstein and Harry Lloyd will portray the legendary producer George Martin.
