Overview
- Butterfield, in a Times interview published Thursday, said he read for George Harrison and admitted he felt wistful about missing out.
- Joseph Quinn won the Harrison role, with Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr.
- Sony is backing a four‑film event from director Sam Mendes that is scheduled to reach theaters in April 2028.
- The production has named key actors playing partners of the band members, including Aimee Lou Wood as Pattie Boyd, Saoirse Ronan as Linda McCartney, Mia McKenna‑Bruce as Maureen Starkey, and Anna Sawai as Yoko Ono.
- Butterfield said some parts are ones you “really, really want,” a candid note that shows how high‑profile casting choices can redirect actors’ paths long before release.
