As Sam Mendes takes a stroll across Abbey Road—yes, you heard that right!—he’s not just channeling his inner Beatle; he’s about to drop some major news at CinemaCon! Picture this: the man behind iconic films like Spectre and Skyfall is gearing up to unveil the cast and intricate details of his highly anticipated Beatles movies. Four—yes, FOUR—films dedicated to the legendary band are set to premiere in April 2028, and Mendes promises it’ll be a “bingeable moment in cinema.” I mean, how much time do we really need to get lost in “Let It Be” and “Hey Jude”?
Now that we’ve got Mercury retrograde ultimately influencing everyone’s communication skills, one might wonder if Mendes is equipped with the right clarity to pull this off. Still, Mendes himself is in high spirits, stating the Beatles are perhaps “the most significant band of all time.” With actors like Joseph Quinn, Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan, and Harris Dickinson lined up to play the Fab Four, I can’t help but ask: will these chosen ones genuinely capture the essence of Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, and Starr? Could Mendes be embarking on a quest to redefine not just cinema, but how we experience the music that shaped generations? Spoiler alert: he might just have found a way to bring their timeless story back to life for a fresh audience. Curious? As if you weren’t already!
Sam Mendes crosses Abbey Road to arrive at CinemaCon to reveal the latest details and cast of his upcoming Beatles movies.
We may never learn who the Walrus is, but Sam Mendes is ready to reveal the cast of his four Beatles movies at CinemaCon 2025! The Spectre and Skyfall filmmaker joined Sony for its CinemaCon panel on Monday evening to share the latest details about his epic Beatles undertaking. All four of his Beatles movies come out in April 2028 for what he’s calling the first “bingeable moment in cinema.” In addition to revealing his master plan, Mendes finally unveiled the official cast of the Fab Four. According to Mendes, George Harrison is Joseph Quinn, Paul Mescal is Paul McCartney, Barry Keoghan is Ringo Starr, and Harris Dickinson is John Lennon.
Mendes did not say in what order the movies would arrive. He also said shooting all four will take more than a year, which is a lengthy filming schedule, to be certain.
Mendes expressed his admiration for the Beatles, saying the band “redefined the culture and stayed with you for a lifetime.” He also says the Fab Four could be “the most significant band of all time.”
“I had been trying to do a film for years, but I finally gave up” because he wanted the “story was too big for one film,” and he didn’t think a TV series would do the story justice. “There had to be a way to tell the epic story for a new generation… I can assure you there is still plenty left to explore and I think we found a way to do that.”
