Meet the Cast of the Highly Anticipated Beatles Biopic

For over a year, fans of music and film have been buzzing with one question: who will portray The Beatles on screen? This project, directed by Sam Mendes, is one of the most ambitious film endeavors of our time. At a special event at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Mendes finally unveiled the actors who will take on the roles of the legendary British band in an upcoming series of four separate biopics.

The Big Reveal: Meet the Cast

During his Monday night speech, Mendes stood on stage with the actors chosen to bring The Beatles to life. The line-up features Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr. Each actor will star in a film focusing on their specific band member.

To excite the crowd, the actors recited lines from The Beatles’ 1967 hit “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.” After their performance, they took a Beatles-style bow for the audience of movie theater industry professionals.

Redefining the Movie Experience

Announced last year, this ambitious project aims to change how we think about movies. Mendes expressed his excitement, saying he’s eager “to challenge the notion of what constitutes a trip to the movies.” All four films will have a concurrent theatrical release in April 2028, and Mendes described it as “the first binge-able theatrical experience.” The production phase is expected to last an entire year, highlighting the scale of the project.

Over the years, many films have tried to tell the story of The Beatles, from 1979’s “Birth of The Beatles” to 1994’s “Backbeat.” However, Mendes’s series will be unique, as it is the first ever to secure rights to the band’s extensive collection of music.

This new adaptation promises to be an exciting event for fans, offering a fresh and detailed look at the lives of each band member. It’s the kind of project that could bring something new and different to both old fans and those new to The Beatles’ legendary music. With a cast of talented actors and an innovative release strategy, this biopic series is sure to capture the imagination of audiences everywhere. As fans eagerly await this cinematic event, many are already placing it in the spotlight of must-watch films.
