The announcement has sent waves of excitement through fans worldwide, as they eagerly anticipate how Mendes will capture the essence of the iconic group that redefined music and culture.
Adding to the buzz, Mendes recently unveiled the cast of young and talented actors poised to bring the “Fab Four” to life. Here’s everything you need to know about the stars stepping into these legendary roles:
Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney
Irish actor Paul Mescal, best known for his breakout role in the acclaimed series *Normal People* and his upcoming lead in *Gladiator 2*, is set to portray Paul McCartney. With his natural charisma and talent, Mescal seems a perfect match to capture McCartney’s charm, musical genius, and iconic personality. Fans are already speculating how the actor will channel the legendary songwriter’s sensitivity and spirit on the big screen.
Harris Dickinson as John Lennon
Harris Dickinson, the British actor who shone in films like *The King’s Man* and *Triangle of Sadness*, takes on the complex role of John Lennon. Known for his ability to dive into emotionally layered characters, Dickinson has the challenge of embodying Lennon’s intellectual depth, rebellious nature, and humanity. If anyone can capture the enigmatic essence of the Beatles’ leader, it’s Dickinson.
Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr
The casting of Barry Keoghan has already sparked immense excitement, with rumors suggesting even Ringo Starr himself approves of the choice. Keoghan, an Oscar nominee for *The Banshees of Inisherin*, has built a reputation for his versatility and unique on-screen presence. Fans believe his quirky charm and warmth will perfectly channel the laid-back humor and distinct personality of the Beatles’ drummer.
Joseph Quinn as George Harrison
Rounding out the cast is Joseph Quinn, who gained international fame for his role as Eddie Munson in *Stranger Things*. Quinn, known for his guitar skills and introspective acting style, is a natural fit to portray George Harrison. Often considered the most spiritual and contemplative member of the group, Harrison’s story will likely highlight his musical innovation and quiet depth, and Quinn seems ready to deliver.
