Thankfully, Mia McKenna-Bruce can reveal that what she’s seen so far is “absolutely next level.” Even a read-through with Mendes and the actors playing the Fab Four — Paul Mescal, Harris Dickinson, Barry Keoghan and Joseph Quinn — was “really emotional, because the scripts are so beautiful.” Related Stories Spotify Confirms ICE Recruitment Ads Are No Longer Running on Platform Spotify Is Hiking U.

Key Highlights

Subscription Prices in the Next Month In the hotly-anticipated films, shooting back-to-back since November 2025 and expected to carry on into late 2026, McKenna-Bruce plays Maureen Starkey, the late ex-wife of Ringo Starr (Keoghan).
While she didn’t know much about her previously, she’s since learned she was “loved by all the Beatles boys” for having a big heart.
“If she went into a room or party, she’d be the person that would go over to whoever was sat on their own — she wanted to make everyone felt included and was just a really good human,” she says.
Starkey also “stayed out of the Beatlemania” and was happier at home.
Popular on Variety There’s not much McKenna-Bruce is allowed to say about the production, but she does note that the first time she saw the four actors dressed as the Beatles with their mop top hairdos and “in all their bits and pieces” it blew her away.
