The movie, which follows the 1996 comedy classic, is set to be released in 2025 on Netflix.
And a first look at Kelce’s character was shared on Christmas Day, as the Chiefs tight end appeared in the trailer alongside music star Bad Bunny and ‘Modern Family’ actress Julie Bowen.
Appearing to assume the role of a hotel or country club employee, Kelce can be seen in a vest and tie as he greets Sandler’s character.
‘It’s great to see you back, Mr. Gilmore,’ he said.
Bad Bunny also appears in the 34-second clip and is seen playing the part of Gilmore’s caddy on a golf course.
The original film, which grossed $41.2million in the box office, details the hilarious story of a failed hockey player-turned-golfer with anger management problems.
Speaking on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ in August, Sandler sounded thrilled to have Kelce involved with the project.
‘We have a nice something for Travis,’ he began, via the New York Post. ‘He’s going to come by. He’s a very nice guy…What a big, handsome guy. Funny and cool as hell. He’s a stud, and he’s so funny.’
Happy Chanukah!

Kelce, who of course has been dating Taylor Swift since last year, has ventured into the entertainment world on several occasions.
He appeared in the show ‘Grotesquerie’ and also hosted ‘Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?’ for Prime Video.
The 35-year-old also served as an executive producer of the film, ‘My Dead Friend Zoe,’ a dark comedy which was recently shown at the Woodstock Film Festival.
The film took home the festival’s Grand Jury prize for Best Feature Narrative in October, Deadline reported.
The movie involves a ‘female Afghanistan veteran com[ing] head to head with her Vietnam vet grandfather at the family’s ancestral lake house’ amid a ‘mysterious relationship with her dead best friend from the Army,’ according to IMDb.
Kelce’s Chiefs are facing the Steelers this Christmas in an AFC clash.
