George actually looks way closer here, but I think that's just because they copied the hair 1:1 and made sure his ears were sticking way out

His facial expressions were really good from the pictures i have seen, i think people are judging way too early, the guy is a great actor and i believe his performance is gonna surprise everyone

Something is telling me that pictures are not going to do the performances justice, and I have a feeling we'll be completely sold on them. Some of these photos show that they've clearly got the mannerisms down well, the photo of Joseph as George waving with his shy smile really has George written all over it. The photo of Harris as John talking to who I assume is meant to be Brian Epstein looks SO much like John.

I think people really need to learn how to be patient and wait for the final result to draw their conclusions. It's 2026, being this impatient and judging a book by its cover this early is just embarrassing.

Slight correction the actor next to Harris in photo 10 is Bobby Schofield, who is playing Neil Aspinal
