Big news for Beatles fans – director Sam Mendes is bringing not one, but four Beatles biopics to cinemas in 2028! And the best part? The cast is packed with all of your favourite Internet boyfriends.
Earlier this week at CinemaCon in Las VegasMendes revealed that each film will focus on a different member of the Fab Four, telling the band’s iconic story from their unique perspectives.
Officially titled The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Eventthe project is being called the “first binge-able theatrical experience.”
To celebrate the big reveal, the actors took the stage and recited lyrics from Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band before giving a bow reminiscent of peak Beatlemania.
Playing the legendary musicians are Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr.
Mendes confirmed that his four biopics – each focusing on a different member of the band – will all be released in April 2028.
“We’re not just making one film about The Beatles – we’re making four,” Mendes told the audience. “Perhaps this is a chance to understand them a little more deeply.”
Calling them “the most significant band of all time,” Mendes highlighted The Beatles’ lasting cultural impact, saying they “redefined the culture and stayed with you for a lifetime.”
The filmmaker revealed that he had been trying to bring a Beatles story to the screen for years but ultimately gave up, believing the story was simply too big for a single film. At the same time, he didn’t want to turn it into a television series.
“There had to be a way to tell the epic story for a new generation,” Mendes said, before assuring the audience that this ambitious project will do just that.
