Cast For All Four Beatles Movies Revealed, Shocking Release Plan Announced
In exactly three years, four movies about The Beatles will be released, each focused on one of the four members of the band. This project, helmed by Sam Mendes, has been coming for a while, but now, thanks to CinemaCon 2025 in Las Vegas, we not only know the cast of these movies, but the surprising plan for releasing the movies has also been confirmed.
On Monday evening, at CinemaCon 2025, Sony Pictures confirmed who exactly will play each of the Beatles, and, perhaps more surprisingly, how each film will hit theaters.
Here's the cast, many of whom have been rumored to have been cast in these roles for a long, long time.
- John Lennon will be played by Harris Dickinson
- Paul McCartney will be played by Paul Mescal
- George Harrison will be played by Joseph Quinn
- Ringo Starr will be played by Barry Keoghan

But, again, the cast is not the eyebrow-raising aspect of this project. And that's because each of the four films won't be released consecutively. Instead, all four films will be released simultaneously, in theaters, during the same month. This news was confirmed by numerous reporters attending CinemaCon, as well as by Deadline. The release plan is being called "the first bingeable theatrical experience."
Theatrical films of this scale, which are essentially sequels to one another, have never been released all in the same month. Just as the Beatles made history with music, it seems that Mendes is determined to make history with these four films.
All four Beatles movies, as yet untitled, will hit theaters in April 2028. Filming begins in 2027.
