@stereogum: Director Sam Mendes is making four interconnecting @The Beatles biopics, one for each member, for release in 2028. In the spring, we learned Paul Mescal will play Paul McCartney, Harris Dickinson will play John Lennon, Joseph Quinn will play George Harrison, and Barry Keoghan will play Ringo Starr. Now we know who’ll play their wives. Saorsie Ronan has been cast as Linda (Eastman) McCartney, Anna Sawai (‘Shōgun’) will play Yoko Ono, Aimee Lou Wood (‘The White Lotus’) will stand in as Pattie Boyd, and Mia McKenna-Bruce (‘How To Have Sex’) will be Maureen (Cox) Starkey. #theBeatles #SaorsieRonan #AnnaSawai #AimeeLouWood #MiaMcKennaBruce

If Anna Sawai were Yoko, people would’ve understood the breakup of The Beatles. They still wouldn’t have liked it, but they’d have understood it. 😂

john lennon abused his wife and left her for yoko, who thought this was cutesy behavior to celebrate. john and her don’t deserve any kind of celebratory film to be made about them
