These four stars are coming together for an epic journey.
Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan, Joseph Quinn and Harris Dickinson have been tapped to bring to life The Beatles in an epic, four-part biopic—each movie centering on one of the four bandmembers and his perspective.
Gladiator II’s Mescal will play Paul McCartney and Saltburn star Keoghan will play Ringo Starr, while Stranger Things actor Quinn will play the Fab Four’s George Harrison, leaving Babygirl star Dickinson to portray frontman John Lennon.
The four films, produced by Sony and directed by Sam Mendes, will all release in April 2028, Mendes confirmed March 31 at CinemaCon.
“Together, all four films will tell the story of the greatest band in history,” Mendes said, per Entertainment Weekly, while Sony’s CEO Tom Rothman called the simultaneous releases “the first bingeable theatrical experience.”
Mendes, in addition to sharing details about the cast and release dates, also spoke to his inspiration for the film.
“The Beatles changed my understanding of music,” he told the audience, per People. “I’ve been trying to make a movie about them for years.”
