Sam Mendes' Beatles Movie Cast Revealed: Meet the Fab Four Stars of 2028 Biopics

The Sam Mendes Beatles Movie Cast has finally been unveiled, sparking excitement among fans of the iconic band.

Sony Pictures announced that Harris Dickinson, Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan, and Joseph Quinn will portray John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison, respectively, in a groundbreaking four-film cinematic event directed by Sam Mendes.

Set for release in April 2028, this ambitious project aims to redefine how we experience the Beatles’ legacy on the big screen.

Who Is Directing the Beatles Biopics?  

Sam Mendes, known for “American Beauty” and “Skyfall,” is directing all four Beatles biopics.

Mendes announced the project at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on March 31, 2025.

He described the films as the “first binge-able theatrical experience,” a bold strategy to capture the band’s massive story.

What Is the Release Strategy for the Beatles Movies?  

All four films will hit theaters in April 2028, though it’s unclear if they’ll release simultaneously or weekly.

Sony Pictures aims to tap into the Beatles’ global fanbase with this unique release plan.

The project marks the first narrative feature with music rights to the Beatles’ catalog, including hits like “Let It Be” and “Yellow Submarine.”

Who Are the Actors Playing the Beatles Members?  

Harris Dickinson, known for “The Iron Claw,” will play John Lennon.

Paul Mescal, star of “Aftersun,” takes on Paul McCartney.

Barry Keoghan, recognized for “Saltburn,” portrays Ringo Starr.

Joseph Quinn, famous as Eddie Munson in “Stranger Things,” will depict George Harrison.

The cast appeared together at CinemaCon, bowing in the Beatles’ iconic style.

Why Is This Project a Big Deal for Cinema?  

The Beatles are the best-selling music act of all time, per the RIAA, making this a high-stakes venture.

Mendes opted for four standalone films to capture each member’s perspective, avoiding a single movie or miniseries format.

The films aim to explore the band’s journey from Liverpool to global cultural icons.

What Is the Background of the Beatles Biopics?  

Plans for the four-film project were first teased in 2024, with Sony securing rights from Apple Corps.

The Beatles previously starred in their own films like “A Hard Day’s Night” and “Let It Be.”

Peter Jackson’s 2021 documentary “The Beatles: Get Back” was the last major on-screen project about the band.

The Beatles won Best Rock Performance at the 2025 Grammys for “Now and Then,” a restored John Lennon demo.

Some Closing Thoughts:

With the Sam Mendes Beatles Movie Cast now official, anticipation is building for this unprecedented cinematic event.

As April 2028 approaches, fans are eager to see how Dickinson, Mescal, Keoghan, and Quinn will bring the Fab Four to life, backed by the Beatles’ timeless music.

This tetralogy promises to be a landmark in both film and music history, offering a fresh lens on the band that changed the world.
