## Resource

Paul Mescal is set to portray Paul McCartney in a sweeping four-film Beatles saga hitting screens April 28, 2028, with Jez Butterworth and Peter Straughan penning the scripts. Mescal’s preparation includes singing his own parts and deep conversations with McCartney himself, who shares candid insights on songwriting, memory, and his complex bond with John Lennon—still echoing in his creative process. The cast is stacked: Harris Dickinson as Lennon, Joseph Quinn as Harrison, Barry Keoghan as Starr, Saoirse Ronan as Linda McCartney, and Anna Sawai as Yoko Ono. A curious twist? Pattie Boyd, pivotal to the Beatles’ story, hasn’t been contacted by the filmmakers. McCartney, ever the charmer, joked he’s cuter than Mescal—just to clarify he’s kidding—and clearly supports the project with his own brand of playful approval.
