Our Sweet Lord?
Here comes the third cast addition. Joseph Quinn, best known as a certain Hellfire Club leader in the greater Hawkins metropolitan area, is reportedly set to play George Harrison in the four-part Beatles film series. Deadline was the first to report the news, with the outlet saying Quinn has been inseparable with a guitar — aw — while filming Fantastic Four overseas. (You’ll recall, thanks to Stranger Things, the man knows his way around some sacrificial chords.) Sam Mendes, who’s directing and overseeing the project, now has 75 percent of his Liverpool cuties: Barry Keoghan and Paul Mescal will portray Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney, respectively, while Harris Dickinson (that freak in Babygirl) is considered to be the front-runner for John Lennon. Eschewing a standard biopic structure, Mendes’s films have been teased as “being told from four different perspectives which tell a single story about the most celebrated band of all time.” If it somehow ends with Quinn doing the Cloud Nine pose, it’ll all be for something.
