Ridley Scott appears to have confirmed that Paul Mescal will star in an upcoming film related to the Beatles. However, there is some uncertainty about the project, with one report suggesting Mescal was replaced by Jacob Elordi in a different film, "The Dog Stars", directed by Ridley Scott. Paul Mescal's role in the Beatles film is reported to be as Paul McCartney by one outlet, but this is not universally confirmed.
