Sony Pictures shared first-look photographs of actors Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan, Harris Dickinson and Joseph Quinn in ‘The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event’ from director Sam Mendes.
The casting of Mescal, 29, Dickinson, 29, Keoghan, 33, and Quinn, 32, was previously confirmed during a presentation at CinemaCon 2025 in Las Vegas. In an Instagram post, the first images of the actors were revealed – which shows Mescal portraying Paul McCartney. Keoghan is revealed as Ringo Star, while Quinn sports long hair in his photograph as George Harrison, a Dickinson is seen in a recording studio strumming a guitar, wearing John Lennon’s iconic glasses.
Production has begun on the four films that will each focus on a different band member. Also featured in the cast are Saoirse Ronan as Linda McCartney, Anna Sawai as Yoko Ono, Aimee Lou Wood as Pattie Boyd, and Mia McKenna-Bruce as Maureen Starkey – each of whom married one member of the Fab Four at the height of the band’s fame in the 60s. Harry Lloyd as George Martin, and James Norton as Brian Epstein also star in the cinematic event.
The four Beatles films will each take the perspective of one member of the Beatles as they climb from unknowns from Liverpool in the early 1960s to the biggest band in the world before their breakup in 1970. It’s the first time that the remaining band members and/or their families have given the music rights to theatrical feature films about them.
‘The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event’ hits theaters in April 2028.
