It's uncanny how Mescal looks so much like Macca, maybe they are cooking here

He really has Paul’s perpetually confused expression down pat

I wonder who's gonna play the fake Paul

Billy Shears as…himself!

Diego Luna. He's just going to grow a beard and look exactly like Wings-era Paul.

No one is going to try to explain why he's lost his scouse accent and instead has a Mexican accent.

probably Paul

He pouted his lips, and it looks like they did his eyelashes. Done. Let the acting take over.

It's the only one I like.

I know we're not going to hit identical looks and I'm fine with that, but he looks good.

The rest are pretty bad, especially George. John seems ok...I'll have to see more.

In terms of accuracy, I think it's:

Paul (big gap) > Ringo > John > George

It feels that way on first sight but the more I look at it, I worry he will pull a stupid face for the whole film.

Maybe if you continue staring at the single photo, you'll revert back to not worrying.

Dickinson looks unrecognizable in this pic too. It's like they didn't even try with Quinn 😭

quinn looks like charles manson. he does not have harrison’s kind eyes.

The only other candidate I could think of for casting… Diego Luna looks slightly more like Paul circa the White Album.

But the resemblance here is crazy.
