Finally, Disney's 20th Century Studios has unveiled the first look at the Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me from Nowhere and The Bear star Jeremy Allen White as the Boss.

The studio took to social media to share the first look at White as Springsteen. He is wearing a flannel shirt and leather jacket as he looks away from the camera.

The first look image is a promising start for the biopic. White nails the look of Springsteen, which bodes well for the movie. Now, we will have to wait and see if he nails his vocals like Timothée Chalamet in the Bob Dylan biopic.

The post also reveals that Deliver Me from Nowhere will be released in theaters in 2025. It will follow the Boss as he records his Nebraska album.

Nebraska came at a pivotal time for Springsteen. He had released hit albums like Born to Run, Darkness on the Edge of Town, and The River, but Nebraska came right before Born in the U.S.A.

Scott Cooper will write and direct Deliver Me from Nowhere. Jeremy Allen White will star as Bruce Springsteen in the biopic. Deliver Me from Nowhere is based on Warren Zanes' book of the same name.

Previously, Cooper directed a Hank Thompson biopic, Crazy Heart, starring Jeff Bridges. He has also directed Out of the Furnace, Black Mass, Hostiles, Antlers, and The Pale Blue Eye.
