Variety previously reported the involvement of these actors, but their contracts were finalized this week, prompting Sony Pictures to officially announce the casting.

“Maureen, Linda, Yoko and Pattie are four fascinating and unique figures in their own right — and I’m thrilled that we’ve managed to persuade four of the most talented women working in film today to join this amazing adventure,” said director Sam Mendes.
