Rumors continue to circulate among moviegoers about who is going to play the legendary British quartet The Beatles in the upcoming film by Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes. Sony Pictures Entertainment and the filmmaker are planning to make four separate films - one about each member of the famous musical group.

The Beatles - Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and the families of John Lennon and George Harrison - have granted full rights to film events from their lives and careers to create a script for the film, Deadline writes. Despite the fact that the actors for the main roles have not yet been officially approved, there is an active discussion on the sidelines of the film sets about who could adequately play the legendary musicians.

George Harrison - Joseph Quinn

The day before, the news spread through the film community that the last piece of Mendes' puzzle about The Beatles had fallen into place. Rumor has it that the role of guitarist George Harrison, who passed away in 2001, will go to Stranger Things and Gladiator II star Joseph Quinn. Sources from Europe report that the actor was seen with a guitar on the set of Fantastic Four.

Ringo Starr - Barry Keoghan

After months of speculation, Ringo Starr, the leader of The Beatles, has confirmed that Saltburn star Barry Keoghan is in the running for his role in the upcoming film series. Answering questions from Entertainment Tonight, the iconic drummer said: "I think it's great. I think he's taking drum lessons somewhere."

Paul McCartney - Paul Mescal

Paul Mescal is being considered for the role of Paul McCartney. The director of the second Gladiator, Ridley Scott, where the Irish actor played the main character, mentioned in a conversation with Christopher Nolan at the Directors Guild of America that "Paul is ready, he's going to do The Beatles next." Sources close to the production confirmed to Variety that Scott was not throwing words around, and that Mescal - although not yet officially confirmed - has indeed joined the project.

John Lennon - Harris Dickinson

According to rumors, English actor George Harrison is to play the role of John Lennon. However, when asked about the casting by Variety, the star was extremely coy. "That would be amazing," he said, smiling, "I think the idea of joining forces with Sam to do something like that would be incredibly exciting. Obviously, John Lennon is a very complex role."
