Beatles Biopics Set for April 2028 Release
Sam Mendes' four Beatles biopics are scheduled to be released simultaneously in April 2028 with full approval from Apple Corps.
A four-film The Beatles biopic series directed by Sam Mendes is scheduled to be released simultaneously in April 2028. The four films will recount the band's story from the perspectives of different members and will be the first scripted Beatles films to receive full approval from Apple Corps and the surviving band members. Paul Mescal portrays McCartney, Harris Dickinson plays John Lennon, Joseph Quinn portrays George Harrison, and Barry Keoghan plays Ringo Starr. Saoirse Ronan, Anna Sawai, Aimee Lou Wood, and Mia McKenna-Bruce are in the supporting cast.
Speaking on Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast, McCartney stated he was pleased with Mescal playing him, noting he found the actor very cute. McCartney added that in a restaged shot of the Abbey Road album cover, he noticed the actor playing him looked shorter than the actor playing John Lennon. McCartney texted Mendes telling him not to do that, and the director explained that the difference resulted from the way they were stepping. Mendes then shared another photograph showing the actors at equal height to reassure McCartney.
Jane Asher, who was with McCartney between 1963 and 1968, stated she does not plan to watch the films. Pattie Boyd stated that nobody from the film team has contacted her regarding her portrayal.
