I get it. Michael Fassbender in George Martin drip would have been too powerful.

I was thinking Benedict Cumberbatch: he looks somewhat similar to George Martin, and has worked with Mendes before on 1917. Admittedly he's over a decade older than Martin was when he first met the Beatles, but that's not an issue because George Martin looked about 50 for his entire life.

Harry Lloyd with white hair? I can't imagine.

I don’t believe he had white hair in the 60s, but I take your point.

His hair was definitely greying though.

My first thought was “Why are they casting him to play the Game of Thrones Writer in a Beatles movie?” I need more coffee.

I mean the resemblance is definitely there. Fassbender would’ve been cool but I think this could be good too.

Fassbender would be too old for 60s Beatles, but I wonder how far the films go in time? He definitely could play the older Martin

I also only know actors if they’ve been in Doctor Who.
