Fans were ecstatic after the announcement of the cast for the new four-film project about the Beatles. Sony Pictures revealed the actors who will play the quartet during CinemaCon in Las Vegas.
The main cast of the Beatles quadrilogy is revealed by Sony Pictures. Harris Dickinson will play John Lennon, Paul Mescal will play Paul McCartney, Barry Keoghan will play Ringo Starr, and Joseph Quinn will play George Harrison.
The films, directed by Sam Mendes, the director of “1917” and “American Beauty,” will be released in 2028. He called the event “the first cinematic experience for marathoning in theaters.”
“Frankly, we need big cinematic events to get people out of their homes,” said Mendes, who mentioned he had been trying to tell a story about the Beatles for years.
Many fans were excited about the cast, while others defended the idea that the film should be starring lesser-known actors.
“I’m going to sound like a hater, but this is the peak of the problem with casting in Hollywood today. This is the only time a film series actually needed unknowns,” wrote one user.
“When the Beatles entered the MCU,” joked a user, referring to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“Even though it feels like we’ve known this for centuries, I’m so excited that it’s finally official!” said one of them excitedly.
