Saoirse Ronan has landed the role of Linda McCartney in Sam Mendes’ upcoming Beatles film project, which is split into four parts.
The main lineup—Paul Mescal, Harris Dickinson, Joseph Quinn, and Barry Keoghan—were already announced to play Paul, John, George, and Ringo, so Ronan is joining some familiar faces. Back in 1969, Linda and Paul McCartney tied the knot, and after that, she worked with him on the album Ram in 1971, plus she played keys and sang backup in Wings, his band after the Beatles days. When Linda McCartney passed away from breast cancer in 1998, her solo record Wide Prairie came out later.
Ronan starred with Mescal in the sci-fi movie Foe last year, and not long ago, she popped up in a music video for Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer” (directed by Mike Mills) to celebrate 50 years of the band.
Fans wonder if Ronan’s Linda will be in all four movies or just the one about Paul, since the details are a bit mysterious right now.
We sometimes wish we could see behind the scenes of casting decisions like this.
The films, coming in April 2028, will be the first time the Beatles’ story and their songs can be used in scripted movies—pretty wild for such a famous band.
