The Beatles: New Rumor Suggests Potential Timeline for Sam Mendes’ Movies

A new update regarding Sam Mendes’ The Beatles movies has emerged online.

Sam Mendes is currently working on four movies that will be about The Beatles. It was recently confirmed that the films will star Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr.

It was also recently announced that all four Beatles movies will be released in United States theaters in April 2028.

What is the most recent update on Sam Mendes’ The Beatles movies?

Appearing on an episode of The Big Picture podcast, Puck’s Matt Belloni noted that there’s “speculation” that the movies could “tell the story of The Beatles sequentially.”

“Meaning, the Paul story will be the first four or five years, the rise to fame, and that kind of thing,” he said. “Then, they bring the other stuff in so that John’s movie is about his relationship with Yoko and his death, ultimately. And, then, Ringo is the aftermath and the break-up, so it’s sort of told through his perspective. That makes sense to me. Maybe they’ll jump around or maybe it’ll be the same story, just from different perspectives. I don’t know.”

Sony Pictures has not yet officially commented on the timeline of Mendes’ Beatles movies, meaning this is just a rumor and speculation at this time. The official logline for The Beatles — A Four-Film Cinematic Event reads, “Each man has his own story, but together they are legendary.”

How the movies will be released also remains unclear at this time, as Sony has not yet announced if all four films will arrive in theaters on the same day or if a new one will come out once a week for a whole month.

Mendes’ Neal Street Productions will produce the Beatles movies in association with Apple Corps for Sony Pictures. Mendes serves as producer along with Pippa Harris, Julie Pastor, and Alexandra Derbyshire.
