Cast revealed for 'bingeable' movies about The Beatles

Sony Pictures said its big-screen story about The Beatles will be told through four films released in April 2028, each from the perspective of one of the Fab Four.

Sony titled the movies The Beatles: A Four-Film Cinematic Event.

Director Sam Mendes also revealed the cast for the films.

Paul Mescal will play Paul McCartney, Harris Dickinson will play John Lennon, Barry Keoghan will play Ringo Starr and Joseph Quinn will play George Harrison.

While the groundbreaking British band's rise to fame has been well-chronicled, "I can assure you there is still plenty left to explore," Mendes said. The four films will be released "in proximity" to each other in April 2028, Mendes said, adding that Sony executive Tom Rothman described it as "the first bingeable theatrical experience."

Mendes, who won an Oscar for directing American Beauty, added: "Frankly, we need big cinematic events to get people out of the house."

Mescal starred in Gladiator II and All of Us Strangers and was nominated for an Oscar for Aftersun. Keoghan received an Oscar nomination for The Banshees of Inisherin.

Dickinson starred in Babygirl, and Quinn appeared in Gladiator II and Netflix hit Stranger Things. "We are going to dominate the culture that month," said Rothman.
