This isn’t your grandmother’s biopic. We don’t actually know what that means. But the point is that it feels like biopics have gone from stilted, boring primetime specials to lavish, award-bait affairs. And this upcoming The Beatles biopic is the grandest, most fabulous, you could say, biopic of them all. Sam Mendes is directing The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event, a four-movie bonanza that features the story of each member of The Beatles, separately and together. Of course, to carry off such an elaborate ambition, a major cast is necessary. The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event has now found its Fab Four actors, who will bring the musical phenomenon to life on screen. The Beatles biopic has the following cast: Harris Dickinson will play John Lennon, Paul Mescal will play Paul McCartney, Barry Keoghan will play Ringo Starr, and Joseph Quinn will play George Harrison.

There’s something really essential right about Joseph Quinn playing George Harrison that is hard for us to explain. We will say, we can’t exactly tell all these actors apart from a distance. But we guess that’s true of The Beatles as well. We love some true-to-life accuracy. Still, though we affectionately snark, we do love all the performers in this cast, and we bet they’ll do a great job bringing The Beatles to life.
The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event will feature four movies that all lock in together to make one huge The Beatles biopic. Each film will turn the spotlight on a different member of The Beatles. The logline shares, “Each man has his own story, but together they are legendary.” As legendary as the runtime of this event, no doubt.
The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event will release in theaters in April 2028. No exact release date has yet been shared, but we’re sure it’s coming soon. As we wait for the biopic (x4) to arrive, we’ll be listening to all The Beatles‘ hits and highly anticipating the wigs that will surely come our way.
