Saoirse Ronan 'Joins Beatles Movies as Linda McCartney'
Saoirse Ronan will portray Linda McCartney in Sam Mendes' authorized Beatles film series focusing on each band member's life and music, set for release in April 2028.
- Saoirse Ronan has been cast to play Linda McCartney, Paul McCartney's first wife, Deadline reported, citing multiple sources confirming the deal.
- Authorized rights from The Beatles and Apple Corps Ltd. allow Sam Mendes, director, to helm four films, each from a different Beatle’s perspective, marking the first scripted use of their life stories and music.
- The ensemble includes Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan, Joseph Quinn and Harris Dickinson as the Beatles, and Deadline said `Ronan is expected to feature prominently in the instalment centred on McCartney, though it's unknown to what extent she might appear in the other three`.
- Linda McCartney was a pioneering photographer, musician and animal-rights activist who married Paul McCartney in 1969, performed with Wings, launched Linda McCartney Foods and died of cancer in 1998 at age 56.
- The production plan calls for simultaneous shooting of four films over about a year, with Sam Mendes describing it as a unique 'bingeable' theatrical experiment supported by Sony Pictures.
