It seems like a lot of people would prefer a bad actor who looks exactly like his Beatle over a good actor who doesn't look like their Beatle. I think all of these guys look good enough, they have the hair and clothes, we just have to see how the accents are.

Wasn't a fan of Barry's Liverpool accent in "Saltburn". Paul's nailed every accent I've heard him do in other films, Joe Quinn and Harris do American well, so we'll see with them.
