Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce is gearing up for a new kind of challenge, trading the football field for the silver screen in his acting debut. Kelce will star in the upcoming action-comedy film Loose Cannons, a project that promises to blend high-octane action with sharp comedic timing.
This marks a significant career shift for Kelce, who has already established himself as one of the NFL’s elite players. However, his charisma and natural on-screen presence—evident in his numerous commercial appearances, his appearance in Moonbase 8 in 2020 and hosting Saturday Night Live—make him a promising addition to the cast.
Loose Cannons will be produced by Chad Stahelski, known for directing the John Wick franchise and producing, Day Shift and Bruised. Jason Spitz will also produce the film with Stahelski through their 87Eleven Entertainment along with Alex Young. The plot written by Tim Dowling is expected to feature a blend of physical comedy, witty banter, and action sequences. The plot is expected to have the essence of Rush Hour, Bad Boys and Lethal Weapon, all landmarks in the buddy action comedy genres.
Stahelski has been a Lionsgate collaborator for a long time since working on John Wick films, starring, Keanu Reeves, for the streaming platform. He is also working on the Highlander remake, which is a franchise, and the filming is scheduled to begin next.
The announcement of Kelce’s casting has generated significant buzz, particularly among his fans in the sports world. As one of the NFL’s most marketable stars, his venture into acting will likely draw attention from football enthusiasts and moviegoers alike.
With production set to begin soon, Loose Cannons is shaping up to be a must-see film that merges the worlds of sports and entertainment. Kelce’s involvement adds a new layer of excitement, making his acting debut one of the most anticipated aspects of the film’s release.
