The director Sam Mendes announced the stars of his four-film series, each told from the perspective of a different Beatle, set to be released in 2028.

How do you cast a four-part film series about a band filled with four of the biggest heartthrobs the world has ever known? Apparently, you simply pick and choose from the It-boys of the moment. There really is no other way to put it: the casting announcement for the upcoming Beatles biopic series looks an awful lot like a convention of Internet Boyfriends.

Sony Pictures said its big-screen story about The Beatles will be told through four films released in April 2028, each from the perspective of one of the Fab Four. Director Sam Mendes also revealed the cast for the films on Monday at the CinemaCon industry convention in Las Vegas.
