Nick Jonas reported to play Paul Stanley in KISS biopic

Nick Jonas has reportedly landed the role of KISS frontman Paul Stanley in a new biopic of the band.

Deadline says that Jonas is nearing the finalisation of a contract to play Stanley in Shout It Out Loud. It's suggested that Jonas will be doing his own singing and will need time to train to replicate Stanley's vocals.

Directed by McG, who is known for his work in the films Charlie's Angels and Terminator Salvation, the biopic will be focusing on the early days of the rock band in the 1970s.

The biopic has been in the works since 2021 and was originally set to be released in 2024, according to manager Doc McGhee.

Jonas is best known for being a member in the pop-rock band Jonas Brothers and has grown up in the world of theatre and musicals on Broadway. Alongside his music career, he starred in productions like Hairspray, Les Misérables and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

More recently, the singer and actor has been playing in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and The Good Half.
