There's exciting news in the entertainment world as a Hollywood actor has been chosen to star in the upcoming Beatles biopic. The actor in question is none other than Paul Mescal, who has reportedly been cast for the role. However, not everyone is convinced that he's the perfect fit for the iconic role of a Liverpool singer.
At just 28 years old, Paul has already made quite a name for himself in the industry. He recently stunned audiences with his impressive performance in Ridley Scott's Gladiator 2, where he underwent a hunky transformation into a fierce warrior. But it seems like he's about to undergo yet another transformation, this time into an iconic musician.
During a conversation with renowned director Christopher Nolan, Ridley Scott himself confirmed the news, saying, "Paul is actually stacked up, doing the Beatles next." This statement was later confirmed by Variety, who reached out to the production team for further information. Although the actor has not yet officially signed on, it's been rumored that he will be playing none other than Sir Paul McCartney, one of the two remaining living members of the band.
While many are thrilled with this casting decision, others have voiced their opinions on who they think would be a better fit for the role. Some fans have suggested actor Diego Luna as a potential alternative, with comments like, "I love Paul, but I think Diego Luna is a better choice," and "Diego Luna would have been a better choice..."
For those who may not be familiar with Diego Luna, he's a 44-year-old Mexican actor best known for his work in films such as Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and the Disney+ series Andor. He has also appeared in various American and Mexican films, including Frida, Open Range, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, and The Terminal.
Despite the similarities between Paul Mescal and Paul McCartney, it's likely that the filmmakers are looking for a younger cast to portray the early days of the Beatles. In fact, there have been reports that actors Barry Keoghan, Harris Dickinson, and Charlie Rowe have also been cast as other members of the band.
This project is a significant one, as it marks the first time that Apple Corps Ltd. and the Beatles themselves have granted full rights for a scripted film about their lives and music. However, it's not the first time that the band has been a source of inspiration for filmmakers, with movies like Midas Man, Nowhere Boy, and Yesterday also being loosely based on their story.
