Yes, Ringo himself has spoken out about the upcoming biopics, speaking to Entertainment Tonight, he said: “I think it’s great. I believe he’s somewhere taking drum lessons, and I hope not too many.”

Despite Ringo’s endorsement, no casting has yet been confirmed for the film.

“A source close to the film cautions that there are no deals with any cast yet, so this could all fall apart,” Hollywood bible Variety shared.

Alongside Paul and Barry tipped to play the musical icons, it’s rumoured that Charlie Rowe will play George Harrison and Harris Dickinson will star as John Lennon.
