Beatles Four-Film Event Unveils First Character Photos in Promo Stunt
First-look photos show Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, teased via a Liverpool promo for a 2028 release.
Beatles fans are in for a major surprise as a new four-film cinematic event announces first-look images of the Fab Four in the iconic roles. Paul Mescal is seen as Paul McCartney, Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison in what’s billed as 'The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event', slated to hit theaters in April 2028.
A marketing push accompanies the unveiling, with first looks rolling out via postcards distributed at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, a school co-founded by Paul McCartney. The stunt underscores a global push to tease the scale of the project, which promises multiple installments exploring the lives and music of the legendary band.
The images provide the most detailed glimpse yet of the quartet in character, as studios and producers begin detailing how the sprawling saga will weave together the band’s legacy with new performances and creative storytelling. The photos feature Mescal in McCartney’s familiar smile, Keoghan’s take on Starr, Dickinson as Lennon, and Quinn channeling Harrison, all captured in period-accurate styling.
With a 2028 release window, fans are abuzz about how the four films will unfold and who will contribute to the storytelling and direction. The campaign at LIPA signals a broad, international rollout that will extend beyond posters to trailers, reveals, and in-depth discussions about how the Beatles’ story will be reimagined for a new era.
As anticipation builds, observers note the scale of the project and the careful balance required to honor the band's legacy while delivering fresh cinema. The April 2028 opening date anchors the mission for a generation of Beatles fans and curiosity-seekers alike.
