Director Sam Mendes reveals actresses set to play Fab Four's wives in new Beatles films

Behind every great man there’s a great woman, the saying goes – and now the fabulous four women behind The Beatles are to be portrayed by four great Hollywood actresses.

Skyfall director Sam Mendes, who is producing four linked films, each focusing on a different member of The Beatles, has now cast the Fab Four’s wives for the ambitious project.

White Lotus star Aimee Lou Wood, 31, will play George Harrison’s wife Pattie Boyd, while Irish Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan, 31, has been cast as Linda McCartney, the muse to many of Paul McCartney’s songs.

Anna Sawai, 33, who has made a name for herself in the US drama series Shogun, will appear as John Lennon’s wife Yoko Ono, and British actress Mia McKenna-Bruce, 28, will play Maureen Cox, the wife of Ringo Starr.

In Mendes’s four films, Saltburn star Barry Keoghan, 33, plays Starr, Fantastic Four actor Joseph Quinn, 31, will be Harrison, leading Triangle Of Sadness cast member Harris Dickinson, 29, takes on the Lennon role and Gladiator II hunk Paul Mescal, 29, will be McCartney.
