At Sony's CinemaCon 2025 in Las Vegas, Director Sam Mendes took the stage with the confirmed cast of his upcoming Beatles biopic tetralogy, a moment marked as both exciting and significant. This highly anticipated cinematic project will feature Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr, and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison. The announcement entailed a unique approach to storytelling, with each film exploring the life and perspectives of one of the iconic band members. Mendes' vision offers an unprecedented look at The Beatles' narrative, combining the musical and cultural impact of the group with deeply personal stories. This ensemble of talented actors, each bringing their distinct backgrounds and experiences, promises to deliver an evocative portrayal of The Beatles, both as individuals and as a band that revolutionized the music world.

The announcement also detailed the release plan for these films, set to hit theaters simultaneously in April 2028. Mendes described the experience as a “bingeable theatrical event,” a novel concept for cinema, where audiences can engage with all four stories in a cohesive and comprehensive way. This ambitious release strategy highlights Mendes' innovative vision for the project, aiming to dominate that month's cultural scene. Sony Pictures, alongside Neal Street Productions and Apple Corps, is producing these films, emphasizing their collective effort to celebrate the legacy of The Beatles while delivering an engaging and high-quality cinematic experience.

In addition to the cast and release details, Mendes spoke about the depth and scope of the project. The films are positioned to explore aspects of The Beatles' lives and careers that have yet to be documented extensively, promising fresh perspectives even for well-versed fans of the band. With each story unfolding from one band member's viewpoint, Mendes aims to deepen the audience's understanding of the personal and professional dynamics that shaped The Beatles' history and legacy. His remarks underscore the meticulous thought behind the storytelling approach, ensuring that the films will not only entertain but provide a comprehensive narrative.
