In the world's worst kept casting secret, CinemaCon kicked off in Las Vegas on Monday with a casting reveal that's been stroking fires all day today online.
Yes, it was revealed that Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan, Joseph Quinn and Harris Dickinson have been cast as the iconic group, The Beatles. I mean, we've known this for months but it's finally confirmed. A reminder of who's playing who.
Paul Mescal - Paul McCartney
Harris Dickinson - John Lennon
Joseph Quinn - George Harrison
Barry Keoghan - Ringo Starr
I got to say, I love this casting and paired together on stage, I can see it as well. Now just wait until we get them in their first look as The Beatles.
Now my only trepidation is the format. Four movies, with each one focusing on a different member and all four movies being released the same month in theatres. I'll admit, that feels a bit too overambitious and it's really asking a lot for general audiences to commit to. I think it would be wiser to space these movies out over the course of the year and let them breathe. I also wouldn't be too shocked if that's something that's eventually considered as well.
Sam Mendes will direct all four of these movies but each one will have a different writer. Filming will commence soon, so expect a lot more casting news and first looks to trickle out over the next few months.

All four movies will release in proximity of each other from April 2028. Are you pleased with the casting choices?
