Mendes announced the news during a surprise appearance at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Monday night, during which the four stars appeared on stage.
Mendes also confirmed that his four separate biopics – which will each focus on one member of the legendary group – will all be released in April 2028.
The official longline for The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event reads (via Deadline): "Each man has his own story, but together they are legendary."

Mendes said: "We’re not just making one film about the Beatles – we’re making four. Perhaps this is a chance to understand them a little more deeply."
Mendes went on to claim that Sony film boss Tom Rothman described the projects as “the first binge-able theatrical experience”.
After appearing on stage, all four actors recited lyrics from the band’s song Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and then took a Beatles-style synchronised bow.
