The Bear's Jeremy Allen White is starring in Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu in 2026.

But first, per music biopics carrying on the trend that has seen an uptake in recent years, Deliver Me from Nowhere's release date is important to its potential success.

What This Means For Jeremy Allen White's Deliver Me From Nowhere

Deliver Me From Nowhere Has A Moderately Competitive Release Date

With its immediate opening, Deliver Me from Nowhere will be competing against Mortal Kombat II, Yorgos Lanthimos' Bugonia, and the Colleen Hoover book adaptation Regretting You. While it will be difficult work to capture moviegoers' divided attention, Deliver Me from Nowhere at least stands apart from these titles with a different genre. White's film's biggest competition in 2025 overall is certainly the Michael Jackson biopic Michael, which is slated for release on Oct. 3.

The most comparable film of 2024, A Complete Unknown, saw a later holiday release, hitting theaters on Christmas Day. While there is some separation between the two 2025 music biopics, they are close enough to each other that they could be stealing legitimate viewership from one another. On the other hand, coming out later in the year is a better move for Deliver Me from Nowhere if it wants to be recognized by the Oscars.

Our Take On Deliver Me From Nowhere's Release Date

October Is Going To Be A Wild Time For The Music Biopic Genre

But while it is coming out in late 2025, it is nice that Deliver Me from Nowhere isn't getting the most Oscars-primed spot of a November or December release, and maybe the movie can still be evaluated on its own merits instead of being shot down as Oscar bait. However, it feels like the talk of the industry in October is going to be the comparison between Jeremy Allen White and Jaafar Jackson's performances. Regardless of one's personal feelings about the trend of dramatizations of iconic musicians' lives, it's going to be hard to ignore the discourse around this time.
