Stephen Graham has landed his next movie role – in The Bear actor Jeremy Allen White's Bruce Springsteen movie.

The This is England and Peaky Blinders star will play Springsteen's dad Douglas, also known as Dutch, in Deliver Me From Nowhere, reports Variety.

The film will chronicle the musician as he creates his 1982 album Nebraska, a dark, stripped-back and raw record that saw him rebel against the commercial success he had achieved with things like 'Born to Run'.

Other cast members include Cruella's Paul Walter Hauser, Succession's Jeremy Strong, and Mothering Sunday's Odessa Young. Filming is set to begin before the end of the year.

Jeremy will be playing Springsteen (and yes, he'll be singing) and is set to work with The Boss and his manager Jon Landau on the film, although when he spoke about it back in June, they hadn't had the chance to meet up yet.

"We've communicated a little bit through some other people, but I hope this still all comes together," he said.

"We've still got a few things, we've got some timing stuff to work out, and I'm trying to have a bit of my own process with it before meeting the man, too. I wanna try to have an understanding, so when I meet him, I'll have a bit of confidence somewhere in me to stand there."

Meanwhile, Stephen has quite a few projects in the pipeline, including the World War II drama Blitz, which is premiering in just a few weeks at the London Film Festival.

There's also the illegal boxing series A Thousand Blows, which is set to hit Disney+ next year.
