AceShowbiz - The upcoming comedy Power Ballad showcases a rocky creative partnership between Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas, as revealed in the newly released trailer. Lionsgate will distribute the film on June 5, following its recent debut at the Dublin International Film Festival.

Paul Rudd stars as Rick, a wedding singer, while Nick Jonas plays Danny, a former boy band member. The story revolves around their collaboration on music, which takes a dramatic turn when Danny transforms one of Rick’s songs into a major hit, sparking a conflict over rightful credit.

The trailer captures the tension between the two musicians, beginning with playful banter: "I could tell within two minutes of meeting you, you're not just some boy band guy," says Rudd, to which Jonas replies, "And you are too good for that wedding band." However, their disagreement escalates quickly, culminating in a physical confrontation where both end up injured.

Directed by John Carney, known for Once and Begin Again, the film was co-written by Carney and Peter McDonald. Producing credits include Carney alongside Anthony Bregman, Peter Cron, Rebecca O’Flanagan, and Robert Walpole. Power Ballad is also scheduled to screen at SXSW later this month.

Alongside Rudd and Jonas, the cast features Jack Reynor and Havana Rose Liu. Nick Jonas recently appeared in the Disney+ holiday comedy A Very Jonas Christmas Movie with his brothers Joe and Kevin Jonas and is set to return in Sony’s sequel to Jumanji: The Next Level.

Paul Rudd stars with Jack Black in the upcoming 2025 comedy Anaconda and will reprise his role as Ant-Man in Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday. The new film Power Ballad promises a blend of humor and intense moments as the characters navigate their creative and personal conflicts.
