More roles have been cast in The Beatles – A Four Film Cinematic Event, with David Morrissey, Leanne Best and Bobby Schofield among the actors set to portray figures from the legendary band’s inner circle.
The films, directed by Sam Mendes and produced by Sony Pictures, Neal Street Productions and Apple Corps, are all scheduled for release on April 7, 2028, despite earlier reports suggesting they would be released separately. Each movie will be told from the viewpoint of a different band member, and the project marks the first time a film has been granted full rights to use the Beatles’ discography.
In June 2024, Harris Dickinson, Paul Mescal and Barry Keoghan were confirmed to portray The Beatles, with later updates revealing Dickinson as John Lennon, Mescal as Paul McCartney and Keoghan as Ringo Starr. Charlie Rowe had originally been named as part of the lineup, but it was eventually announced that Joseph Quinn would complete the quartet as George Harrison.
Now, Morrissey (The Walking Dead) has been confirmed to take on the role of McCartney’s father Jim, while Line Of Duty actress Best, who Rolling Stone reported is the niece of former Beatles drummer Pete, will portray Lennon’s Aunt Mimi. The Covenant actor Schofield will play Neil Aspinall, the band’s road manager and childhood friend of McCartney and Harrison.
Additional casting includes Daniel Hoffmann Gill (Sherwood) as roadie Mal Evans, Arthur Darvill (Doctor Who) as press officer Derek Taylor and Adam Pally (The Mindy Project) as music manager Allen Klein. Harry Lloyd (Game Of Thrones) will portray the band’s producer George Martin, while Happy Valley’s James Norton has been confirmed in the role of manager Brian Epstein, as previously reported in October.
They join Dickinson, Mescal, Keoghan and Quinn, along with Saoirse Ronan, Anna Sawai, Aimee Lou Wood and Mia McKenna Bruce, who are set to portray Linda McCartney, Yoko Ono, Pattie Boyd and Maureen Starkey respectively.
