New trailer for John Carney’s Power Ballad starring Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas

April 24, 2026 by Amie Cranswick

Lionsgate has shared a new poster and trailer for director John Carney’s (Sing Street) upcoming comedy drama Power Ballad.

The film centres on washed-up wedding singer Rick (Paul Rudd) and fading boyband star Danny (Nick Jonas) who form an unexpected bond after meeting at a gig, but when Danny records one of Rick’s songs without his permission, and reignites his career, Rick sets out to claim recognition for the hit.

Alongside Rudd and Jonas, the cast includes Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu, and Jack Reynor. Watch the trailer below…

When Rick (Paul Rudd), a past-his-prime wedding singer, meets fading boy-band star Danny (Nick 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. From writer-director John Carney (Sing Street, Once), POWER BALLAD is a feel-good story about music, self-respect, friendship, and the price of ambition.

Power Ballad arrives in cinemas on June 5th.
