The Beatles biopics will kick off in theaters starting in April 2028. Mendes will direct four different films, each told from the perspective of the four bandmates. They will all intersect to tell the full story of the band’s history, according to a press release.

This will be the first time that The Beatles and Apple Corps Ltd. have authorized the use of the band members’ life stories and music in scripted films. Sony Pictures is also financier of the projects, in addition to distributing.
