Austin Butler as Elvis truly changed Hollywood because now, not only are we getting Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan and Selena Gomez as Linda Rondstat, but Paul Mescal is also reportedly in talks to lead one of four upcoming Beatles biopics. Each movie, from director Sam Mendes, will focus on a different member of the band — and their unique points of view — but will intersect to “tell the astonishing story of the greatest band in history,” via Variety. Here's everything you need to know about the new movies.
Is there a new Beatles movie coming out?

Yes, director Sam Mendes is developing four movies — one for each member of The Beatles. Each individual movie will show the perspective of one member (including Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, John Lennon, and George Harrison).
“I’m honored to be telling the story of the greatest rock band of all time, and excited to challenge the notion of what constitutes a trip to the movies,” Sam Mendes says in a statement, via Variety.

Each of the four movies will be released in theaters thanks to Sony Pictures Entertainment. They're hoping to shoot all four in the UK starting in 2025 and release them in 2027.
“You have to match the boldness of the idea with a bold release strategy,” Sony Pictures chief Tom Rothman tells The Hollywood Reporter. “There hasn’t been an enterprise like this before, and you can’t think about it in traditional releasing terms.”

Via The Hollywood Reporter, Paul Mescal is one of the studio's top picks for one of the Beatles, which I would TOTALLY be here for. TBH, I need the rumors to be true just so I can hear him sing. Some other fan casts include Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Asa Butterfield, Barry Keoghan, and Tom Holland.
