Okay, the original Beatles were sexy too. Why else would thousands of babes be screaming at all of their concerts? But in 2028, the Fab Four will become 21st-century hot. Like iPhone face, cold-brew coffee hot. Sony Pictures has officially announced Harris Dickinson, Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan, and Joseph Quinn as John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison. Here’s everything we know about the Fab Four’s four fab films — including who’s playing other important figures in the Beatles’ lives.
John, Paul, George, Ringo CONFIRMED
Okay, isn’t this old news? Well, kind of. All of the casting rumors, while just rumors, were accidentally confirmed by insiders before CinemaCon on March 31 (looking at you, Mr. Starr). The logline for The Beatles — A Four-Film Cinematic Event reads, “Each man has his own story, but together they are legendary.” Sam Mendes, director of the film, introduced the lads at the Sony Pictures presentation at CinemaCon in Vegas and explained that each film will be told from the point of view of each band member and “intersect in various ways.” It was also described as the “first bingeable theatrical experience.”
Who else is in the cast?
Saoirse Ronan will be playing Linda McCartney in as many Beatles movies as that requires. Linda Eastman starting dating Paul McCartney in 1968. They were married in 1969 and stayed together until her death in 1998. Joining her in gf-town are Shōgun breakout Anna Sawai as Yoko Ono, Aimee Lou Wood as Pattie Boyd, and Mia McKenna-Bruce as Maureen Cox (first wife of Ringo Starr). “Maureen, Linda, Yoko and Pattie are four fascinating and unique figures in their own right,” Mendes said in a statement confirming their casting. “I’m thrilled that we’ve managed to persuade four of the most talented women working in film today to join this amazing adventure.”
When are the Beatles movies coming out?
Mendes says they’ll be in principal filming for over a year, and there’s no confirmation on what order the movies will come out in. All four films are coming out in April 2028. So basically, if you have AMC A-List, you can watch ’em all in one week.
