Director Sam Mendes announced at CinemaCon on April 1 that Sony's long-awaited Beatles biopic will be four separate films, each focusing on a different band member. All four movies will be released in theaters in April 2028.
The Beatles biopic will feature Triangle of Sadness star Harris Dickinson as John Lennon. Paul Mescal will portray Paul McCartney, Joseph Quinn will take on the role of George Harrison, and Barry Keoghan will play Ringo Starr. Each film will focus on the story of one Beatles member.
As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Mendes said:
"We’re not just making one film about the Beatles — we’re making four. Perhaps this is a chance to understand them a little more deeply.”

The Beatles biopic: Announcement at CinemaCon event
The Beatles won eight Grammy Awards and set numerous records throughout their career, but their band broke up in 1970. As reported by People, at the CinemaCon event in Las Vegas, director Sam Mendes said:
"They're four very different human beings. Perhaps this is a chance to understand them a little more deeply. But together, all four films will tell the story of the greatest band in history. I just felt the story of the band was too huge to fit into a single movie, and that turning it into a TV mini-series just somehow didn't feel right."
In February 2024, co-producer Pippa Harris shared that the four-film series aims to present the story of the Beatles as a grand cinematic experience.
The upcoming Beatles biopic, directed by Sam Mendes, will consist of four films, each focusing on a band member.
