English actor James Norton will play Brian Epstein, the longtime manager of the Beatles , in the upcoming four-part musical biopic by director Sam Mendes.

He’ll star in “The Beatles — A Four-Film Cinematic Event,” as the unconventional project has been dubbed, alongside Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Harrison Dickinson as John Lennon and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison.

Sony, the studio behind the films, declined to comment on Norton’s casting.
