## Caption

House of Guinness star James Norton has been cast to play the gay manager of The Beatles, Brian Epstein, in the upcoming four-film band biopic.

If true, Norton will be joining The History of Sound’s Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Saltburn’s Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr, Stranger Things’ Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, and Babygirl’s Harris Dickinson as John Lennon.

Furthermore, Ammonite’s Saoirse Ronan is to play Linda McCartney, who was married to McCartney from 1969 to her death in 1998.

The news has been reported by Deadline. However, Sony, the production company behind the films, has not officially announced the casting decision.

Each of the Beatles films is set to focus on a different member of the band. However, bridging all these individuals is Epstein, who had a big influence on the band.
