This casting choice has generated considerable excitement among fans of both Jonas and the iconic rock band.

Production for the film is set to begin either at the end of 2025 or the start of 2026, following McG's recent work on 'Way of the Warrior Kid'.

KISS recently wrapped up their touring activities at the end of 2023, but they will perform unmasked at a fan convention in Las Vegas in November 2025.

Additionally, KISS avatars performed during the band's final concert at Madison Square Garden, showcasing a new digital experience for fans.

The biopic comes after KISS sold their catalog and likeness to Pophouse, the company producing the film, which is also behind the ABBA Voyage concert.

On June 5, 2025, it was announced that Nick Jonas will portray KISS frontman Paul Stanley in the upcoming biopic 'Shout It Out Loud', directed by McG.

Stanley expressed enthusiasm about the film's development, praising the script's quality and the meticulous casting process.

The biopic aims to celebrate KISS's legacy while introducing Stanley's personal story to a new generation of fans.

The script will cover KISS's early years, detailing their journey to fame, including a pivotal concert at Cadillac High in October 1975.

Doc McGhee, KISS's longtime manager, described the film as an insightful exploration of the band's formation and the societal pressures of the 60s and 70s.

KISS is recognized as one of the most influential rock bands, having released 44 albums and holding the record for the most Gold Album Record Awards among American rock bands.

The band's unique identity is enhanced by their fantastical personas, such as Starchild (Stanley) and The Demon (Simmons), which have become iconic in rock history.
