Exciting news for Beatles fans around the world—casting has officially been confirmed for the highly anticipated Beatles biopics. Four separate films focusing on each iconic member of the band—John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr—are now in development, and the actors chosen to portray the legendary musicians have been revealed.
The ambitious project is the first time Apple Corps Ltd. and The Beatles’ families have fully authorized narrative biographical films, giving filmmakers unprecedented access to the band’s stories and music. Scheduled for release in 2027, the interconnected movies will offer unique perspectives from each Beatle’s point of view, ultimately forming a cohesive cinematic experience.
Who’s Playing The Beatles? Cast List Revealed
After months of speculation, the confirmed cast is already generating buzz in both music and film circles.
- Paul Mescal will portray Paul McCartney, bringing his rising star power and musical background to the role.
- Barry Keoghan has been cast as Ringo Starr, promising a layered and expressive performance.
- Charlie Rowe takes on the role of George Harrison, capturing the quiet mysticism and soulful artistry of the late guitarist.
- Harris Dickinson will step into the iconic shoes of John Lennon, offering a fresh take on the enigmatic rock legend.
Each actor is tasked with not only embodying the mannerisms and look of their respective Beatles but also navigating the musical and emotional depth of their journeys from Liverpool to global superstardom.
A Bold New Vision for Beatles Storytelling
Directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Sam Mendes, the Beatles biopic saga aims to redefine how musical legends are portrayed on screen. Rather than a single narrative, Mendes’ vision is a groundbreaking four-part storytelling experience that invites audiences to see key events in Beatles history from four distinct viewpoints.
This unique approach will allow for deeper emotional exploration of the group dynamics, personal struggles, and creative triumphs that shaped the most influential band in music history. From the early days at The Cavern Club to the rooftop concert that marked their final public performance, the films will trace the evolution of the Fab Four through their own eyes.
Release Date and What Fans Can Expect
All four Beatles biopics are set to release in 2027, with the exact release strategy—whether staggered or simultaneous—yet to be announced. The films are expected to include a wealth of Beatles songs, re-recorded or performed in-character, offering a blend of historical accuracy and emotional storytelling.
Fans can anticipate a fresh, in-depth look at one of the most transformative bands the world has ever seen. With an acclaimed director, talented cast, and the full backing of the Beatles estate, this project promises to be a cinematic event like no other.
