"I don't want to get into the Beatles thing, not coyly, but actually because I think the world hopefully will benefit from knowing as little as possible going into it."
"We're a while away from finishing. That's my job for all of 2026."
"on a personal level, I'm so thrilled to be working on something at this scale, but also rooted in performance with Sam and great writers."
"pinching ourselves"
Paul Mescal is in an awards campaign for Hamnet, which won Best Drama Film at the 2026 Golden Globes. Downtime is limited because of his role as Paul McCartney in Sam Mendes's quartet of Beatles biopics set for 2028 release. Production is ongoing and will occupy Mescal through 2026. He hopes audiences will approach the Beatles films with minimal prior knowledge to preserve the viewing experience. The cast includes Harris Dickinson, Joseph Quinn, Barry Keoghan, Saoirse Ronan and many others, and the project is described as a totally singular endeavor rooted in performance. Mescal is also involved in Richard Linklater's Merrily We Roll Along, filmed over two decades with Ben Platt and Beanie Feldstein.
