Filmmaker Sam Mendes has officially confirmed the main cast for his series of four Beatles biopics, adding that each film will premiere one at a time over four weekends in April 2028.
Cast as the Fab Four is: Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr.
Sony Motion Pictures’ Tom Rothman described the rollout of the film series as the first “bingeable moment in cinema,” adding that “we are going to dominate the culture that month.” Each of the movies will focus on a different member of group, with the project being given the working title of The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event.
The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event will mark the first scripted films to be granted the band’s music and life rights. The project’s official synopsis reads: “Each man has his own story, but together they are legendary. The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event. In theaters April 2028.”
Mendes said of the four-movie concept: “There had to be a way to tell the epic story for a new generation. I can assure you there is still plenty left to explore, and I think we found a way to do that.”
