Ridley Scott Suggests Paul Mescal May Star as Paul McCartney in Beatles Biopics

The actor's involvement in Sam Mendes' four-part Beatles film series has not been officially confirmed but continues to generate speculation.

Ridley Scott mentioned during a discussion with Christopher Nolan that Paul Mescal is likely occupied with 'doing the Beatles next,' hinting at his involvement in Sam Mendes' Beatles biopics.
The ambitious project consists of four films, each focusing on one of the Beatles, with interconnected narratives exploring their individual perspectives and collective history.
Mescal is widely rumored to play Paul McCartney, though neither Sony Pictures nor Mendes has officially confirmed the casting.
Ringo Starr has seemingly confirmed Barry Keoghan's casting as himself, while Harris Dickinson and Joseph Quinn are rumored for John Lennon and George Harrison, respectively.
The films, produced with the cooperation of The Beatles' estates and Apple Corps, are set for a 2027 release and mark the first scripted biopics to include full life story and music rights.
