Los Angeles [US], April 7 (ANI): Universal Pictures has unveiled the title of the previously untitled Judd Apatow comedy starring Glen Powell. The film, 'The Comeback King', is set to hit theaters on February 5, 2027, and follows Powell as a country western star in free fall, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The cast also features Cristin Milioti, Madelyn Cline, Stavros Halkias, and Li Jin Hao. Apatow directs the film and co-wrote the script with Powell.

Powell took to Instagram to share the image revealing the title and added the caption, 'Turn it up. Feb 2027.'

Apatow Productions produces the film under its long-standing deal with Universal, while Powell and Dan Cohen produce for Barnstorm via a first-look deal signed last year. Former Universal president of production Kevin Misher produces for Misher Films, with Barry Mendel and Josh Church serving as executive producers, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
