Sam Mendes' ambitious four-part Beatles biopic has officially announced its cast. At CinemaCon 2025 in Las Vegas, Mendes unveiled the actors playing the Fab Four in his groundbreaking project, which will be released in April 2028.
The Beatles movie cast features Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr, and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison. Each film in the series will focus on a different band member, making this a unique approach to storytelling in music biopics.

This marks the first time The Beatles and Apple Corps have officially supported a scripted film about their lives. Mendes, known for 1917 and Skyfall, will direct all four films, ensuring a cohesive cinematic vision.
Sony Pictures chairman Tom Rothman emphasized that this epic undertaking is designed to reignite excitement for theatrical experiences.
With its star-studded cast and unprecedented storytelling format, the Beatles biopic is set to be one of the most anticipated film events of 2028.

Why Shawn Mendes is hiding out in a tiny English village before his world tour begins

Shawn Mendes has taken a surprising turn ahead of his global tour, quietly moving into the quiet Cotswolds village of Great Tew. With a population of just 200, the singer appears to have traded red carpets and paparazzi for countryside cafés and historic pubs. Locals in the Oxfordshire village, already home to British celebrities like David Beckham and Simon Cowell, have spotted the Canadian pop star around town. According to one resident, Mendes has rented a modest home to enjoy some solitude before his international dates begin. 'No one ever asks for selfies, so he must love being left alone,' the source noted, adding that he was recently scolded for placing a café order just before the kitchen closed. Mendes's most recent album, Shawn, was released in late 2024 and marked a deeply introspective phase in his career. Describing the record at the time, he said, 'It helped me reconnect with myself, allowing me to work through emotions, find clarity and feel stronger.' His decision to base himself in Great Tew fits that narrative, with its peaceful countryside and sense of anonymity offering a welcome contrast to the limelight. He has since jetted off to Budapest for the opening night of his tour, which will include stops in Denmark, Austria, Germany, and London's O2 Arena before heading to the United States. The tour promises an evolved sound and a renewed sense of purpose. Fans have taken to social media to share sightings and speculate on how the English countryside is influencing the singer's next creative phase. So far, Mendes seems content keeping a low profile in one of the UK's most exclusive but peaceful celeb hideouts.

Is Shawn Mendes dating his collaborator?

Shawn Mendes has reignited dating rumours after posting a series of intimate photos from his time at the Sunny Hill Festival in Kosovo. The 26-year-old singer performed at the event, but it wasn't his music that had fans talking, it was the identity of the woman featured in several affectionate photos on his Instagram. In the black-and-white snapshots, Mendes is seen embracing and smiling at a woman who appears to be close to him. In another image, Dua Lipa joins the pair, kissing both Mendes and the woman on the cheek. Mendes captioned the carousel with 'all we got is love !!', fuelling speculation that the woman could be a new romantic partner. Fans were quick to react in the comments. 'Who's this shawn huh??' one user wrote, while another questioned directly, 'Are you dating Mr. Shawn Mendes??' The tone ranged from surprise to heartbreak, with many followers trying to piece together clues about the mystery woman. Online sleuths soon identified her as Luana Quaglia, an international artist supervisor who has worked closely with Mendes since 2019. Quaglia is responsible for handling the logistics and creative aspects of artists' tours and live performances. The two have maintained a long-standing professional relationship, and while neither has confirmed any romantic involvement, their evident closeness in the photos has left fans speculating. This isn't the first time Mendes' personal life has stirred attention. He was previously linked to Camila Cabello, and in 2023 was rumoured to be dating Sabrina Carpenter, a claim he later denied in an RTL Boulevard interview. As of now, Mendes has not confirmed being in a relationship. His post remains ambiguous, offering no clarification on the nature of his connection with Quaglia. Whether it's a romance or simply a deep friendship, fans remain intrigued by this possible new chapter in his personal life.

Beyond the Spider-Verse moves to June 25, 2027 amid release strategy shift

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse has officially been delayed, but fans won't have to wait much longer. Sony Pictures has moved the highly anticipated animated film's release date from June 4 to June 25, 2027 — a strategic decision designed to maximize the film's summer box office performance. According to Variety, the three-week delay was made to ensure the movie opens when '100% of schools in the U.S. will be on summer break,' giving younger audiences full access to the film's theatrical debut. The timing aims to capitalize on the popularity of Miles Morales and the Spider-Verse franchise among school-aged fans. Originally announced for a March 2024 release, Beyond the Spider-Verse has endured multiple delays. Production was halted due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes in 2023. By the end of 2024, the studio scrapped much of the existing material, leading to a near-complete restart. It wasn't until CinemaCon 2025 that the current release date was confirmed. The trilogy began with the groundbreaking Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse in 2018, which grossed nearly $400 million globally and introduced Miles Morales to the big screen. Its 2023 sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, received critical acclaim and cemented the franchise's status as one of the most beloved animated series of the decade. Now, with Beyond the Spider-Verse set to conclude the trilogy, fans can expect a spectacular sendoff — just a little later than planned.
