Nick Jonas has been cast in the action-thriller Bodyman

Bodyman follows a violent power struggle that takes place during a family Christmas gathering after an eccentric billionaire unexpectedly transfers control of his private military company to his longtime bodyguard (Nick Jonas) instead of to his children.

Bodyman - which was written by Bryon Balasco - is due to start filming in June 2026.

As well as starring in the movie, Nick will serve as a producer alongside Spencer Berman through under their Powered by Jonas company with Erik Feig's Picturestart.

Nick had previously collaborated with Gary and Bryon on the TV show Kingdom - which ran from 2014 to 2017.

This comes after Nick revealed his daughter - who he welcomed via surrogate in Janaury 2022 with his wife Priyanka Chopra - needed to be resuscitated shortly after she was born.

During an appearance on the On Purpose podcast, he explained: "She came to the world under, sort of, very intense circumstances.

"We were expecting her to arrive in April of the year she was born, and we get a call that it's going to be sooner."

The Jonas Brothers icon recounted his daughter looking "purple" shortly after she arrived into the world.

He said: "We basically, you know, went into action and she was born via surrogate. We got to the hospital, and she came out. She was 1 pound, 11 ounces and purple basically."

Malti ultimately spent nearly 100 days in a neonatal intensive care unit, and Nick admits that the situation felt perilous at one point in time.

He shared: "These angels at the NICU, kind of, resuscitated her in that moment and got her taken care of really quickly and intubated [her] and everything else.

"Because it was COVID times, my wife and I would basically do 12-hour shifts at the hospital for three and a half months. I could still, sort of, smell it."

Nick also hailed Malti's nurses as "truly angels".

He said: "It's a tough reality check. Just driving there and back each day and seeing each other, sort of, as passing ships was a crazy thing. I'll just say this about the NICU nurses, they are truly angels.

"The pop star revealed that Malti already knows about the "first chapter of her life".
