Joseph Quinn 'will play George Harrison' in Beatles biopic films
He catapulted into fame following his role as Eddie Munson in the fourth season of Stranger Things.
And now, Joseph Quinn is reportedly set to take to screens as George Harrison in a series of Beatles biopics.
The actor, 30, will be undertaking a role that is worlds away from the eccentric Hawkins High School student, as he steps into the shoes of the legendary guitarist for four films.
According to The Sun, the quartet of films will tell the story of the Liverpool-based band from each member's perspective - and Joseph has been handpicked by director Sam Mendes to appear in all of them. A source told the publication: 'Joe is an incredible actor. It's a massive role, but Sam is delighted to have him on board.' Joseph Quinn is reportedly set to take to screens as George Harrison in a series of Beatles biopics.
The monumental film series will be the first time Apple Corps Ltd, The Beatles, and the families of John Lennon and George, have all agreed to hand over full life-story and music rights for a scripted movie. George died in November 2001 at the age of 58 following a battle with cancer.
It comes after another source said: 'Sam has a mammoth task on his hands, but Paul and Ringo trust him to do them justice.
'The films will all be inter-connecting and will tell the story of the band from each of the group's perspectives.' 'It's likely Sam will find four British rising stars to step into their shoes. But people are already talking about actors such as Barry Keoghan and Will Sharpe.'
