‘First Beatle announced! Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr In Sam Mendes’ Beatles Biopics’

We shared the thrilling news that acclaimed director Sam Mendes is developing not one, but four Beatles biopics, all slated for release in 2027.

While that may seem distant, the journey to Mendes’ cinematic exploration of the Fab Four has potentially just reached its first milestone, featuring its first Beatle. In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, iconic drummer Ringo Starr hinted that Irish actor Barry Keoghan, known for his role in "Bird," may be taking on the role of Starr in Mendes' films.

When asked about the possibility of Keoghan portraying him, Starr playfully remarked, "I think it’s great. I believe he’s somewhere taking drum lessons, and I hope not too many." Although this isn't an official casting announcement, Starr's endorsement is a promising sign for Keoghan, who previously showcased his Scouse accent in Emerald Fennell's thriller "Saltburn." If this casting becomes a reality, it could lend credibility to ongoing speculation that Paul Mescal might portray Paul McCartney, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison—the same rumors that initially linked Keoghan to the project.

These films will mark a significant collaboration, as Apple Corps Ltd. and the surviving members of the Beatles, along with the families of George Harrison and John Lennon, have granted full life story and music rights for this scripted venture. While we await definitive release dates and casting confirmations, the excitement surrounding this project is palpable. With notable talent involved and the prospect of four authorized films about the legendary band on the horizon, fans are eagerly anticipating the chance to secure tickets for what promises to be a remarkable cinematic experience. Now, the ball is in Sam Mendes' court—let’s hope he delivers!
