"The first official look at Sam Mendes' ambitious four-film Beatles project has landed, and the internet appears to be in rare agreement when it comes to Paul Mescal stepping into the role of Paul McCartney. And honestly? I get the hype. It's giving less "actor playing Paul" and more "the spirit of McCartney himself briefly possessed this man," sparking the kind of collective approval that almost never happens online."
"The stills offer the public its first real glimpse at Mendes' unprecedented "cinematic event," set to hit theaters in April 2028, which will tell the story of The Beatles across four interconnected films, each centered on a different member of the band - Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr. While anticipation has been high since the project was announced, Mescal's McCartney has quickly emerged as the early standout, fueling excitement that Mendes' high-risk, high-concept take on the most famous band in history may be striking the right chord from the very start."
