Travis Kelce has been making headlines lately, but not just for his moves on the football field. The Kansas City Chiefs star has been breaking records on the football field and causing a stir with his high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift. But lately, Kelce’s fame has been extending far beyond the gridiron.
While Kelce’s football career remains his primary focus, he’s been quietly expanding his horizons. Between co-hosting the wildly popular New Heights podcast with his brother, Jason Kelce, it seems like Hollywood might just be calling his name next.

Travis Kelce As The Next Action Star?
As reported by Variety, Travis Kelce will star as the main leading man in Lionsgate’s upcoming action-comedy ‘Loose Cannons‘. ‘John Wick‘ series director Chad Stahelski is on board to produce through his 87Eleven Entertainment banner, along with Jason Spitz and Alex Young. Tim Dowling is on board to write.
The script for ‘Loose Cannons‘ is in the capable hands of Tim Dowling. He’s a seasoned screenwriter known for comedies like ‘Role Models‘ and ‘Just Go With It‘. But don’t start setting your calendars just yet — the production isn’t expected to kick off until after the upcoming NFL season.

Travis Kelce’s Growing Hollywood Presence
Travis Kelce’s potential role in ‘Loose Cannons‘ isn’t the only sign of his growing presence in Hollywood. This fall, the NFL star is set to host the game show ‘Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?‘, adding yet another layer to his entertainment resume.
He’s also landed a mysterious supporting role in Ryan Murphy’s highly anticipated FX series ‘Grotesquerie‘, which premieres on September 25.
It’s worth noting that ‘Loose Cannons‘ isn’t a remake of the 1990 crime caper that shared the same name. That film, which starred Gene Hackman and Dan Aykroyd, was a box office flop with a bizarre plot. It involved a Nazi sex tape and a detective with multiple-personality disorder.
Kelce’s ‘Loose Cannons‘, on the other hand, is a fresh take centered around two unhinged cops who are paired together in an attempt to straighten them out.
