In an interview with Deadline, Mendes explained that the film will focus on the lives and careers of The Beatles, including the journey that led them to make music history.
Mendes promises the film will give audiences a closer and deeper look into The Beatles, offering a chance to redefine who they were and to truly get to know each member of the iconic British band.
He shared that his interest in making a Beatles film stems from his deep admiration for the band, as he is a long-time fan.
Once the idea came to mind, Mendes immediately discussed it with the two surviving members of The Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, who gave their blessing to the project.
The Beatles film will feature well-known actors. The casting focused not only on physical resemblance but also on capturing the essence and feel of the band.
So, who’s playing who in The Beatles?
Paul Mescal will play Paul McCartney. Harris Dickinson takes on the role of John Lennon. Barry Keoghan will portray Ringo Starr, and Joseph Quinn is set to play George Harrison.
Of the four Beatles members, two are still alive — Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. This presents both a challenge and an advantage for Paul Mescal and Barry Keoghan.
The challenge is that they must portray their roles flawlessly, especially with McCartney and Starr watching closely. The advantage is that they can consult directly with the original sources.
Sony Pictures, the film’s distributor, has locked in the release date for The Beatles, which is set for April 2028.
