What we know so far about his Beatles biopics<\/u><\/a> is that they’ll be comprised of four movies, with each centered on one Beatle\u2019s point of view. As Paul Mescal will star in the four Beatles movies<\/u><\/a> as Paul McCartney, he was quick to answer whether he would be giving his vocal talent to the movies.<\/p>\n Paul Mescal was asked by Indiewire<\/u><\/a> if he\u2019d be doing his own singing while portraying Paul McCartney, and he answered without missing a beat:<\/p>\n Yep, yeah, absolutely. Hell yeah.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Music biopics can work both ways, where a film\u2019s lead will either lip-sync or provide their genuine singing voice. In Selena, J. Lo lip-synced to the real Selena Quintanilla, which was a genuine tribute to the late singer\u2019s talent. But when Joaquin Phoenix sang as Johnny Cash in Walk the Line, we witnessed the actor embodying the musician with his own musical talent.<\/p>\n So it was good to hear Paul Mescal’s answer! As a Beatles fan, it\u2019s not that I wouldn\u2019t have loved to hear the real Paul McCartney\u2019s voice make its way to Sam Mendes\u2019 movies. However, getting to hear Paul Mescal\u2019s interpretations of the most famed Beatles tunes would thrill me all the more. I can picture him putting strength and soul into each number the way he has in every acting role he\u2019s achieved.<\/p>\n It\u2019s like when I first heard Jim Sturgess sing \u201cGirl\u201d in the must-watch offbeat musical<\/u><\/a> Across the Universe, or Ewan McGregor sing \u201cAll You Need is Love\u201d in Moulin Rouge! Having actors of our generation sing the songs of the \u201cFab Four\u201d can create a new generation of fans.<\/p>\n Paul Mescal has proven his musical talent when he sang in the 2022 musical drama Carmen. He\u2019ll also be taking on the lead role of Franklin Shepard in Richard Linklater\u2019s upcoming musical adaptation <\/u>Merrily We Roll Along<\/u><\/a>. With these musical roles, the Academy Award nominee is showing that he\u2019s a man of many talents. Given what a talent Paul McCartney is, there\u2019s no better actor out there to portray him than someone as equally dedicated to their craft.<\/p>\n With Sam Mendes\u2019 Beatles movies being split into four, that means four movies of Paul Mescal belting out songs that have captured the hearts of many generations. While there\u2019s been no confirmation of what songs will be covered, I\u2019d love to hear the Aftersun actor sing hits like \u201cHey Jude\u201d and \u201cYesterday.\u201d We\u2019ll all have to wait for the upcoming music biopics<\/u><\/a> to hit theaters in 2028 to see Mescal bring his voice and charm to his legendary new role.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
