Late Monday, March 31, Sony Pictures announced the cast in a social media post that reads: “The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event, directed by Sam Mendes.

Harris Dickinson (John Lennon)

Paul Mescal (Paul McCartney)

Barry Keoghan (Ringo Starr)

Joseph Quinn (George Harrison)

In theatres April 2028. #TheBeatlesFourFilmCinematicEvent”

Here’s a quick look at the some of the credits of the actors who will play the Fabs:

Dickinson, who will play Lennon, is known for such films as Baby Girl, The Iron Claw, and Triangle of Sadness.

Mescal, who will portray McCartney, starred in Gladiator II, All of Us Strangers and Aftersun.

Keoghan, who’ll play Ringo, is best known for Saltburn, The Banshees of Inisherin and The Batman.

Quinn, cast in the role of Harrison, is known A Quiet Place: Day One and Gladiator II, as well as roles on Stranger Things and Game of Thrones.

Director Mendes scored his first success in 1999 with American Beauty and went on to direct to James Bond films Skyfall and Spectre.

What’s not known is whether all four films will be released simultaneously in April 2028 or the structure of the films.

Presumably each film will focus on the story of one member of the band, but of course their stories intersect in a big way, so all four actors will likely appear in each film.

The release of the Beatles movies come after such successful biopics as the recent Bob Dylan film A Complete Unknown, Bohemian Rhapsody, which focused on Queen; and Rocket Man, which told the story of Elton John.

Aside from their own films, there have previous dramatic retellings of the Beatles before, including 1994’s Backbeat, which focused on their early years, and 2009’s Nowhere Boy, which looked at Lennon’s teenage years.
