Fans Can’t Believe Who’s Playing The Beatles in Upcoming Biopics
Fasten your seatbelts, music lovers, because the world of cinematic biopics is about to get groovier than a ’60s dance floor! At the recent CinemaCon 2025 in Las Vegas, director Sam Mendes dropped a bombshell that has fans buzzing—he unveiled the star-studded cast for the much-anticipated Beatles biopics. Yes, you heard that right. The Fab Four are back, albeit in a slightly different form. Paul Mescal, fresh off his critically acclaimed role in “Aftersun,” will take on the mantle of Paul McCartney; Harris Dickinson will channel the enigmatic spirit of John Lennon; “Stranger Things” heartthrob Joseph Quinn is set to embody the beloved George Harrison; and Barry Keoghan, known for his eclectic roles, will be behind the drums as Ringo Starr. The rumors had been swirling like a funky vinyl record, with Starr himself hinting at his excitement over Keoghan’s casting last November. It seems that even the icons of yesteryear can’t resist a good gossip session!
Mark your calendars for April 28, 2025, because that’s when each of these Sony-produced biopics will hit theaters, serving what Mendes describes as a “binge-able theatrical experience.” Oh yes, the entire world will soon be sitting in darkened rooms, popcorn in hand, as they delve deep into the lives of these musical legends—one film at a time. Mendes assures us that the format will allow fans to grasp a more profound understanding of each Beatle, though he’s keeping mum on the release order. A touch of suspense? Perhaps a sprinkle of genius?
Now, what’s the takeaway from this cinematic extravaganza? It’s not just about the nostalgia; it’s also about bringing the stories of these legendary figures to the forefront, allowing a new generation to connect with their artistry. So, whether you’re a die-hard Beatlemaniac or a casual listener, prepare for a cultural event that promises to be both enlightening and entertaining.
Class dismissed! If only history lessons were always this glamorous.
