Ringo Starr has seemingly confirmed that actor Barry Keoghan will play him in the upcoming Sam Mendes biopic about The Beatles.Back in October, Mendes confirmed that he’ll be working on four individual Beatles movies until “some time in the middle of 2028”.

Each movie will intersect but will tell The Beatles story from a different band member’s perspective.Speaking on a recent episode of Variety’s Stagecraft podcast, Mendes briefly mentioned how the Fab Four films were his next big movie-making endeavour, saying: “I’ve got this huge Beatles project that I’m working on for the next several years.

So this is the last time you’ll see me until some time in the middle of 2028.”⁠Since news of the movies were made public, there have been rumours that the core cast have been found, though details have not yet been officially announced.The Hollywood Reporter shared a feature earlier this year which included speculation that Paul Mescal could be in the running to play Paul McCartney.

According to The InSneider, John Lennon will be played by Harris Dickinson (Triangle Of Sadness), Starr by Keoghan (Saltburn), and George Harrison by Charlie Rowe (Slow Horses).Now, Starr himself has seemingly confirmed Keoghan’s casting.
