An official trailer has been released for John Carney’s upcoming film “Power Ballad.” The story follows Rick, played by Paul Rudd, a wedding singer who is pulled into a high-stakes attempt to claim credit for a song. Rick’s situation intensifies after Danny, portrayed by Nick Jonas, takes the same music and turns it into a hit.
Across the sources, the central premise is consistent: Rick risks “it all” to secure recognition and control over the success of the track once Danny’s version gains popularity. The film is framed around the tension between a performer who works in wedding venues and a more visible pop star whose career shift helps propel the song into mainstream attention.
The trailer promotional descriptions focus on the characters’ roles and motivations rather than additional plot details, but together they establish the film’s core conflict: who gets credit when a song’s popularity skyrockets and the people involved want something different from the outcome.
