Sam Mendes is working on a collection of four interlinked biographical films centered around individual members of The Beatles.

Recent information from film industry specialist Jeff Sneider might have revealed the actors lined up to embody each member of the iconic band.

Sneider mentioned that the films will star Harris Dickinson (known for "Triangle of Sadness") as John Lennon, Paul Mescal (famous for "Normal People") as Paul McCartney, Charlie Rowe (recognized for "Gigi & Nate") as George Harrison, and Barry Keoghan (renowned for "Saltburn") as Ringo Starr.

Currently, the casting report remains unconfirmed by official sources.

In February, it was revealed that Sam Mendes would helm all four parts of the "Beatles Cinematic Universe."

Every individual film will center predominantly on the life and professional journey of a specific member of the cherished rock 'n roll band. Furthermore, audiences won't have to endure lengthy intervals between releases, as all four are scheduled to be unveiled in 2027.

Even more exciting for Beatles enthusiasts is that McCartney, Starr, and the families of Lennon and Harrison have granted the films complete access to the musicians' life stories and music rights.

Producer Pippa Harris remarked in a statement upon the announcement of the movies, "we intend this to be a uniquely thrilling and epic cinematic experience: four films, told from four different perspectives, which tell a single story about the most celebrated band of all time."
