The 24-year-old musician will star alongside actors Daisy Ridley and Tom Holland, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The film is based on Patrick Ness' best-selling novel of the same name and will be directed by Doug Liman.
The story is centred on a colony planet where almost all women have been killed by a virus and all living creatures have been affected by The Noise, a virus that inflicts immersive visions of ones' thoughts.
Jonas will portray the role of Davy Prentiss Jr, a young soldier in Mayor Prentiss' army, who is fuelled by jealousy over his father's mentorship of long-time rival Todd Hewitt.
The film is slated to release on March 1, 2019.
