Yes, Variety has shared that Saoirse will play the first wife of Paul McCartney and the founder of the iconic vegetarian Linda McCartney Foods company.

Linda was a photographer before marrying The Beatles star and was the first female photographer to have her work on the cover of Rolling Stone.

She and Paul tied the knot in 1969 and worked with him on his band Wings after the end of The Beatles.

In 1995, Linda was diagnosed with breast cancer. She sadly passed away from the disease three years later at just 56-years-old.

This isn’t the first time that Paul and Saoirse have played a married couple. They originally starred together in sci-fi flick, Foe in 2023.

While it wasn’t highly rated, it did show off the incredible chemistry between the two and we can’t wait to see them on screen again.

The Beatles biopics promise to be a cinematic experience as director Sam Mendes will make not one but four films focusing on each band member.

The films are set to be released until 2028 but we’re pretty excited by this!
