Nick Jonas to Lead Action-Thriller 'Bodyman,' Generating Buzz at EFM

Nick Jonas is set to star in the upcoming action-thriller 'Bodyman,' a project poised to make waves at the European Film Market (EFM) where A Higher Standard is handling worldwide sales. Directed by Gary Fleder ('Homefront') and penned by Byron Balasco ('Kingdom'), the film signifies a significant genre expansion for Jonas, who has previously showcased his acting prowess in 'Jumanji' and 'Kingdom.' Principal photography is scheduled to commence in June 2026. The collaboration with Fleder and Balasco, veterans in crafting suspenseful and character-driven narratives, suggests 'Bodyman' aims for a compelling blend of intense action and engaging storytelling. The title itself hints at a protagonist with formidable physical capabilities, raising anticipation for Jonas's performance. This strategic move into the action-thriller genre positions Jonas for broader global appeal and a solidified place in Hollywood, with the EFM launch expected to secure robust international distribution for the anticipated film.
