George Harrison will be played by Stranger Things star Joseph Quinn, while Paul McCartney will be played by Gladiator II star Paul Mescal.

Saltburn's Barry Keoghan will be playing the role of Ringo Starr and Babygirl's Harris Dickinson will portray John Lennon.

The new line up was revealed as British film director Sam Mendes showed up at Sony's CinemaCon.

It was revealed that the four separate movies, each focusing on a different individual Beatle will come out in April 2028.

He then confirmed the cast, saying how the iconic band "redefined the culture and stayed with you for a lifetime".

Sam then branded the Liverpudlian band as "the most significant band of all time".

He added: "I had been trying to do a film for years, but I finally gave up", noting how the story he wanted to tell "was too big for one film".

Fans were divided over the casting announcement after it was officially unveiled, with many even quick to ask if it was an April Fools Day joke.

"So they just want to use some hot boys instead of actors that look similar," said one person on X.

A second asked: "Giving unknown actors a chance wasn’t an option?"

"None of this is believable and i hate it we need young nobodies who actually look the part," penned a third.

"Giving unknown actors a chance has truly become a lost art," said a fourth.

A fifth then said: "I’m crying they look nothing like the beatles."

"The constant rotation of the same actors in hollywood is sooooo exhausting," added a sixth.

While a seventh said: "No way it’s real i thought it was april fools post."

But some other fans were more complimentary.

One person said: "These are fantastic actors I'm interested."

"I LOVE THESE YES," added another.

"Ohhhhh sickkkk I love these actors," said a third.
