In February 2024, it was announced that director Sam Mendes would helm four feature films about The Beatles — Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr — each telling the band’s story from a different member’s perspective. The interconnected films were initially slated for release in 2027.
In March 2025, the actors cast to portray Paul, John, George and Ringo were officially revealed. At the same time, it was confirmed that the release of the films had been postponed to April 2028.
