Sony's long-awaited Beatles movie biopic plans are finally coming together.
Director Sam Mendes took the stage at CinemaCon in Las Vegas to reveal the cast for the features and said that all four films are set for theatrical release in April 2028. The surprising plans to make four films - one for each member of the famed band - were first announced last year.
Drumroll, please: Mendes also brought the cast onstage. Set to star in the films are Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr. Each of the four movies will focus on one of the members of the Fab Four.
"We're not just making one film about the Beatles - we're making four," Mendes said. "Perhaps this is a chance to understand them a little more deeply."
The Beatles are the biggest-selling music act of all time, per the RIAA, and Sony is hoping to tap into that devoted fan base with the unique release strategy.
