The casting is open!  Who could play the Beatles?

The casting is open! Who could play the Beatles?

Should the roles be reserved for British actors? That is the question…

The four trendy boys will have the right to their biopics. Four films are planned, one by Beatle. This is what was announced Deadline a few days ago now. The project will be punctuated by the baton of the filmmakerAmerican Beauty, Sam Mendes.

After the box of Bob Marley: One Lovedriven by triumph Bohemian Rhapsody, this announcement did not fail to provoke a reaction on the web, which did not skimp on its casting suggestions for the quartet. Nothing has been announced on this front, the vagueness still stagnates on the faces which will sing at the top of their lungs “Twist and Shout.

To embody such personalities, a wide range of artistic skills is highly required. Who could personify the pop-rock charm of the rhythmic beetles (beat them) that shook the world?

Variety has collected for you, the best casting candidates:

Sam Claflincould be an ideal candidate for the role of John Lennon. He recently channeled his inner rocker in the Amazon series, Daisy Jones & the Six, in which he plays the leader of a rock band. Why not reiterate?

The future Fall Guy, Aaron Taylor-Johnsonhas already played Lennon during adolescence in Nowhere Boy (available on FirstMax), film directed by his wife Sam Taylor-Johnsondirector of the upcoming biopic on Amy Winehouse, Back to Black. The performance ofAaron Taylor-Johnson in Lennon had been highly praised by critics.

Even though he’s from New York, Paul Dano would also be expected to interpret John Lennonsince he honored the figure of Brian Wilson In Love & Mercy. A little new blood. Kit Connnorthe lover of Heartstoppers 19 year old could perfectly channel the energy of John Lennon. Even if some prosthetics would be necessary to make the incarnation credible…

After sublimating Elvis Presley In Priscilla, Jacob Elordi seems to be the fashionable darling – his face not being so far removed from that of Paul McCartney. The problem? How can we justify the guitarist’s sudden 1.96 meters?

Jamie Bellthe dancing prodigy of Billy Elliotsurvivor of Skull Island in King Kong, could well be called to the casting. This opportunity would take his career to the next level with this role.

Better known for weaving its webs, it is not impossible that the British Tom Holland joins the project. To see if scheduling conflicts would come into play…

At the heart of a devoted fanbase, Timothée Chalamet is called to the casting to play George Harrisonalthough he is about to play Bob DylanIn A Complete Unkown of James Mangold. The credibility of the project risks getting tangled between the strings of the US/UK sounding guitars.

Asa Butterfieldmain character of Sex Educationcould well slip into the genius of George Harrison, especially since the actor is no stranger to musical instruments. This detail could make the difference, even if his big blue eyes oppose it…

Dhany Harrison, son of the main interested party, would be an ideal choice. Composer recognized in the profession, Dhany Harrison could nevertheless be too old to play his father in his best years…

The interpreter of Joker, Barry Keoghan is cited by the American media as an interesting candidate to play Ringo Starr. It has the same irresistible magnetism. It remains to be seen if he doesn’t border on the ridiculous with a mustache…

The former sorcerer’s apprentice, Daniel Radcliffe could be measured against the contrasting greatness of the batsman. These two are under 5’9″, which would make the prospect believable. Especially since the actor had displayed his musical talent in Merrily We Roll Along And How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, two successful musicals. But can one icon play another icon? That is the question…

Among this casting, the editorial staff includes these few names as suggestions, Harris Dickinson (For Paul McCartney), Harry Styles (never mind), Natt Wolff (For George Harrison)…The best proposal remains the one invoked on the social network X :

After Get Back, Peter Jackson has another project with the Beatles
