An unnamed source told the Daily Mail that Tom Cruise may help Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce get into Hollywood and could offer him a role in “Days of Thunder 2,” scheduled for 2028; no official cast update has confirmed his involvement.
Kelce has appeared in Ryan Murphy’s “Grotesquerie,” made a cameo in “Happy Gilmore 2” and hosted “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?”
The source also speculated that Taylor Swift might record a song for the film after speaking with Cruise at a Chiefs game. Cruise later said they had talked about football; neither Swift’s nor Kelce’s involvement in the film has been confirmed.
