He’s conquered stadiums with The Jonas Brothers — now Nick Jonas is ready to don platform boots and face paint for a whole new kind of crowd. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the pop heartthrob is in final talks to play none other than Paul Stanley, a.k.a. the Starchild, in the upcoming KISS biopic Shout It Out Loud — and the timing couldn’t be more electric.
Directed by McG and penned by Darren Lemke, the film dives into the riotous rise of KISS, the fire-breathing, blood-spitting rock legends behind hits like "I Was Made for Loving You" and "Rock and Roll All Nite." The project is backed by STX Entertainment and Universal Music, with KISS royalty Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons themselves directly involved.
While Jonas may seem like an unlikely fit, insiders say his performance will spotlight Stanley’s glam, grit, and quiet control behind the chaos. It’s a bold move — and one that could redefine Jonas's screen career.
Set during the band’s 1970s breakout, the film will chronicle how four misfits in makeup became arena gods, leaving a glitter trail of pyrotechnics, power chords, and merchandising madness in their wake.
In true KISS fashion, Shout It Out Loud promises to be loud, proud, and totally unapologetic — just like the Starchild himself.
