Sam Mendes has officially confirmed the main cast and release date for his forthcoming Beatles biopics, set to hit theaters in April 2028. Four films will focus on a different member of the iconic band – John Lennon (Harris Dickinson), Paul McCartney (Paul Mescal), George Harrison (Joseph Quinn), and Ringo Starr (Barry Keoghan). This project marks the first scripted films granted to the Beatles’ music and life rights.
The biopics follow in the footsteps of director Peter Jackson’s 2021 documentary “Get Back”. Mendes’ tetralogy will showcase the band’s lives and music on screen. The cast boasts prominent lead acting roles, including Harris Dickinson (Babygirl, Triangle of Sadness) and Barry Keoghan (Saltburn, The Batman).
The Beatles have had a significant presence in film before, with classic titles like “A Hard Day’s Night”, “Help!”, and “Let It Be”. Their latest win at the 2025 Grammy Awards for Best Rock Performance was for their demo song “Now and Then”, restored from the 1970s.
