As somebody who’s a giant fan of each romantic comedies and sports activities motion pictures, think about my pleasure once I discovered about Winter Video games, an Olympic rom-com set to star Hailee Steinfeld and Miles Teller. I used to be additionally excited when the Spider-Man: Throughout The Spider-verse actress starred in her personal real-life sports activities romance when she married Buffalo Payments quarterback Josh Allen in Could of this 12 months. He’s additionally been so supportive of her profession and the discharge of Sinners, so once I inform you he must cameo in Winter Video games, it’s not a need, however a necessity.
What We Know About Winter Video games
With these two seasoned actors alongside director Paul Downs Colaizzo (Brittany Runs A Marathon) on the helm, I’ve to confess my hopes are excessive for Winter Video games, particularly after studying the next synopsis through The Hollywood Reporter:
The movie revolves across the high-stakes enviornment of the Winter Olympic Video games, a perpetually ignored skier and a self-sabotaging hockey legend who collide at their breaking factors. Their surprising connection threatens her likelihood for a medal and his shot at a comeback as they navigate romance and redemption within the Olympic Village.
I don’t know why, however this reads enemies to lovers to me, which is my absolute favourite rom-com trope. And a double underdog sports activities story? I couldn’t be extra hype. This movie already has the potential to be up there with the greatest rom-coms of all time in my books, however solely time will inform.
On condition that the principle castings had been simply introduced, I don’t count on to see this movie on the 2025 film schedule. Nonetheless, with the XXV Winter Olympics set to hit the 2026 TV schedule reside from Italy, subsequent 12 months could be the right alternative to launch this authentic fictional movie.
It could additionally give them loads of time to determine a component for Josh Allen…
How Josh Allen May Cameo
Josh Allen definitely has a face for the massive display; he and Steinfeld are one handsome pair. Whereas the NFL MVP has by no means acted earlier than, a cameo is unquestionably doable. I imply, take a look at his frequent opponent Travis Kelce, who made his performing debut final 12 months in Grotesquerie and is ready to seem in Pleased Gilmore 2. Kelce and Allen are already incessantly in contrast as a result of their high-profile relationships with Taylor Swift and the Dickinson actress, respectively. I’m certain his fellow NFL pal may give him some pointers, so let’s discuss how I believe he may make a cameo in Winter Video games.
On condition that American soccer will not be an Olympic sport, a lot much less a winter one, the Payments quarterback can’t play himself. However an athlete’s an athlete, and he would positively have the ability to draw from expertise with high-stakes competitors to be a fellow competitor within the Winter Video games. Plus, after residing in Buffalo, New York for seven years, he’s no stranger to snow and ice. I’m considering he’s a teammate of Teller’s, or maybe a rival hockey participant Steinfeld’s character flirts with to make The Gorge actor jealous.
It’s essential to notice that as of proper now, Paramount Footage has mentioned nothing about Allen being linked to the movie. The latest casting announcement solely included the Arcane actress. More than likely, the Payments participant might be too busy to be on set when filming begins, because the 2025-2026 NFL season begins in September and runs by February.
But it surely’s enjoyable to consider the probabilities anyway!
