First Look At The Beatles Actors In Character Revealed

John Russo

It's been almost two years since Sam Mendes announced his plan to direct four different Beatles biopics, one for each member. In April last year the cast was confirmed: Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr, and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison. Now, we're getting a first look into the project.

Sony Pictures UK provided postcards of the actors as the Fab Four to the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts — which was co-founded by McCartney — and they were hidden around campus for students to find.

Meanwhile Keoghan debuted his new look as Starr yesterday at the Crime 101 UK gala screening.

All four intersecting films are slated for April 2028. In October, the cast for the wives was revealed: Saoirse Ronan as Linda (Eastman) McCartney, Anna Sawai as Yoko Ono, Aimee Lou Wood as Pattie Boyd, and Mia McKenna-Bruce as Maureen (Cox) Starkey. Check out the images below via LIPA Liverpool.
