Sam Mendes will be directing a series of new movies about The Beatles, and the internet thinks the whole thing sounds a lot like the MCU.
A collective of solo movies surrounding the famous figures sounds like an ambitious idea for sure, and fans have quickly pointed out that it sounds very similar to howMarveloperates.
Fans are making MCU jokes about the new Beatles movies
WhenDeadlinereported that there would be four separate Beatles biopics releasing in the same year, fans quickly made jokes about how this mirrored the MCU.
The comments over on X quickly grew, joking that this could become a whole new cinematic universe in its own right.
“The Beatles Cinematic Universe is born,” saidone comment. “What a beautiful day to be alive.”
“Which one do we see Spider-Man come into?” askedanother user.
Oneeven went so far as to rework Nick Fury’s monologue from the MCU’s first Avengers movie, writing: “There was an idea, John knows this, called the Beatles Initiative. The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable people, to see if they could become something more. See if they could work together when we needed them to create the music that we never could.”
There’s still a long while to wait before these movies will ever see the light of day. Until then, given the band’s cultural impact, you can bet this quartet of biopics will probably end up seeing close to Marvel levels of hype.
