Los Angeles, October 29

Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas-starrer 'Power Ballad' is all set to be released next year in June.

Lionsgate has dated the John Carney directorial for June 5, 2026, as per Deadline.

In the movie, co-written by Carney and Peter McDonald, Rick (Rudd), a past-his-prime wedding singer, meets fading boy-band star Danny (Jonas) during a gig. The two bond over music and a late-night jam session. But when Danny turns one of Rick's songs into the hit that reignites his career, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves - even if it means risking everything he cares about.

'Power Ballad' is touted as being a feel-good story about music, self-respect, friendship, and the price of ambition.

Anthony Bregman, John Carney, Peter Cron, Rebecca O'Flanagan and Robert Walpole serve the roles of producers.

Power Ballad will open up against Amazon MGM Studios' Masters of the Universe from filmmaker Travis Knight, as well as Warner Bros and Legendary's hybrid live-action animated title, Animal Friends.

June 2026 is so far away! 😩 But the plot sounds interesting - reminds me of those classic Bollywood music rivalry stories but with a Hollywood twist. The wedding singer vs boy band star dynamic could be fun.

John Carney directed "Once" and "Sing Street" - both had amazing music! So expectations are high for this one. Hope the soundtrack is as good as his previous films. Indian audiences love good musicals!

Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical about Nick Jonas' acting. He's a great singer but his previous film roles haven't been that impressive. Hope he proves me wrong! Paul Rudd can carry any film though.

The story about friendship and ambition sounds relatable. In India, we see so many talented musicians who don't get their due recognition. Hope this film does justice to that theme. Plus, competition with Masters of the Universe makes it more exciting!

Feel-good musical about self-respect and friendship? Count me in! After a long day at work, these are exactly the kind of movies we need. Hope it has the same charm as "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" which Paul Rudd was also in.
