The Beatles biopics were announced early last 2024 with each movie focusing on the unique perspective of each member of the iconic band.

Fans Raise Questions
Despite a star-studded cast, some fans are raising concerns on social media about the casting choice. Joseph Quinn, best known for his role in ‘Stranger Things’ brings Hollywood credibility. However, one Reddit user, Elljawa wrote, “Shit casting, every single one of these guys is too old. The Beatles were all young for the duration of their career. None of the Beatles had hit 30 by the time they broke up. And that's one of the whole charms of the band, that they were so prolific and innovative while also being so young.”
Another Reddit user, Bartellomio’s comment read, “Why are half of them not even British? Were there no British actors who could fill those roles? They don't even look similar so Idk why they went for non-British actors that don't even fit the roles.
