In an exciting turn of events, Irish actor Paul Mescal has been cast to play the iconic role of Paul McCartney in an upcoming four-part Beatles biopic. The project, titled The Beatles - A Four-Film Cinematic Event, is set to be the first bingeable theatrical experience.

Mescal, who is currently gaining critical acclaim for his role in the film Hamnet, scheduled for release on November 27, expressed surprise and delight at the prospect of portraying McCartney.
