At long last, Sam Mendes’ Beatles biopics have announced the cast, and Paul Mescal (Gladiator 2), Harris Dickinson (Triangle of Sadness), Barry Keoghan (Saltburn), and Joseph Quinn (Fantastic Four: First Steps) will star in the movies as Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison, respectively.
Sony announced the castings at the 2025 CineaCon in Las Vegas, Nevada. According to People, Mendes then described his biopics as the “first bingable theatrical experience.”
It appears the four movies, which are properly titled The Beatles — A Four-Film Cinematic Event, will film for a year. By all accounts, it sounds like they will be “bingable” in theaters, meaning they will be released simultaneously in an ambitious move or at least close together.
“The Beatles changed my understanding of music,” said Mendes. “I’ve been trying to make a movie about them for years.”
Jeff Sneider of The InSneider has been on the beat for a while. He initially reported Keoghan, Dickinson, and Charlie Rowe would star alongside Mescal as Starr, Lennon, and Harrison, respectively.
However, Rowe later dropped out of the running, and the Fantastic Four star Quinn was brought on as Harrison. Now, the cast has been solidified.
