In addition to White, Deliver Me From Nowhere will also feature Peaky Blinders' Stephen Graham as Springsteen's father, Succession's Jeremy Strong as John Landau's mentor and manager, and Black Bird's Paul Walter Gauser as guitar tech Mike Butlan.
Also on board are Mothering Sunday's Odesa Young as the beloved Faye and Quantum Leap's Johnny Cannizzaro as E Street Band member Stevie Van Zandt.
Speaking recently about White's performance, the real Landau told The Hollywood Reporter: "Oh my God, he's just perfect. The casting is wonderful. [Director] Scott [Cooper] told me at the beginning: 'We're going to cast the right cast, and we're going to tell the right story,' and he cast the right cast.
In an interview with GQ in August, White spoke about his preparation for the role, explaining: "I'm very fortunate to have a team of people who help young actors portray rock stars. I have a really talented group of people who are helping me train vocally and musically to get ready for this." He added that Springsteen has been "really supportive of the project" and called the rock icon "just the nicest guy.
