/EPASir Paul McCartney is being portrayed by Paul Mescal in Sam Mendes' upcoming filmsSir Paul McCartney has recalled how he made a personal plea to the director of upcoming films about the Beatles to not portray him smaller than John Lennon as they were similar heights in real life. The 84-year-old is set to be portrayed by the Gladiator II star Paul Mescal in The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event, which is being directed by Sir Sam Mendes. But after being sent a recreation of the famous Abbey Road crossing, McCartney joked that he complained that Mescal was "markedly shorter" than the Lennon actor. He told the Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast that Mendes sought to reassure him by saying they were all the same size, and it was "just the stride pattern". As well as Mescal, Barry Keoghan will play Sir Ringo Starr, Harris Dickinson has been cast as John Lennon, and Joseph Quinn will play George Harrison. Each film, due to be released in 2028, will focus on a different member of the legendary group.

James Cameron congratulates Avengers: Endgame's box office success with bonkers image - A.V. Club
Marvel Studios’ release of Avengers: Endgame: Encore was a shrewd gambit for a few reasons: It put the studio’s most successful film back in conversation right after the juggernaut success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day; it tided die-hards over with new footage ahead of December’s Avengers: Doomsday; and, perhaps most importantly, it raked in an additional $138 million for the film, reinstating its position as the worldwide box office champion over James Cameron’s Avatar. Cameron, who certainly doesn’t spend his precious time fretting about such matters as lifetime financial grosses and being the best in the world at stuff, recently expressed his congratulations to Marvel for once again overtaking his 2009 sci-fi film. “You are one of the people,” the director wrote (per The Wrap) in a composite image from Avatar, with Iron Man at the center of a welcoming Na’vi tribe. “Congratulations to Marvel and the #1 Avengers: Endgame: Encore for bringing moviegoers to the cinemas! – Jim Cameron.”
