Sam Mendes’ upcoming Beatles movies<\/a> look set to become one of the most exciting cinematic events of 2028. With four movies set to be released simultaneously on 7 April 2028<\/a>, music lovers can look forward to delving into the lives and careers of the four iconic Liverpoolians, John, Paul, George, and Ringo.<\/p>\n

Ever since the Beatles’ movies<\/a> were announced, audiences have been intensely curious about them and wondered if they could live up to the lofty expectations the group behind \u201cHey Jude,\u201d \u201cLet It Be,\u201d and \u201cYesterday\u201d set. Now that the actors have been cast and filming has commenced, one of the most pressing questions has at last been answered.<\/p>\n

The First Look At The Beatles Movie Biopic Reveals What Each Actor Will Look Like The Film<\/p>\n

The Beatles movies are bringing together some of Hollywood\u2019s most sought-after male stars, with Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr. While all these actors can deliver great performances, audiences were worried they might not look the part.<\/p>\n

Now that first-look photographs of the cast<\/a> in costume have been released, viewers can decide for themselves how well they capture the band’s aura. With Mescal in a suit and tie, he\u2019s capturing the early days of the group when they made their American debut on The Ed Sullivan Show, while Keoghan\u2019s shaggy hair and mustache channel the late-1960s Sgt. Pepper era.<\/p>\n

The biggest debate about the Beatles movies so far has been about whether the stars look enough like the band to truly pull off a convincing biopic. Thankfully, the photos showcase their transformations, and the response has been mostly positive, with viewers admitting that they\u2019ve managed to mimic the iconic vibe of the boys who sang \u201cI Want to Hold Your Hand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul Mescal, in particular, really captures the boyish charm of a young Paul McCartney. Harris Dickinson offers a glimpse into the post-Beatles era as he sports the round spectacles Lennon wore during the period he recorded \u201cImagine.\u201d Barry Keoghan too has the unconventional looks needed to pull off Ringo, and it will be fascinating to see further photos from the set.<\/p>\n

The biggest complaint is Joseph Quinn\u2019s portrayal of George Harrison, as he doesn\u2019t closely resemble the real man. Still, this is only a first-look photo, and we\u2019ll have to wait and see how Dickinson captures George\u2019s fascinating spiritual life. There\u2019s plenty to look forward to as audiences await this grand account of perhaps the best band of all time, the Beatles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sam Mendes’ upcoming Beatles movies look set to become one of the most exciting cinematic events of 2028.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":454599,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[64,63,134,136],"class_list":["post-454598","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454598","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=454598"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454598\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/454599"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=454598"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=454598"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=454598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
