Hailee Steinfeld To Star In Olympic-Themed Rom-Com “Winter Games” — Fans Hope Josh Allen Makes a Cameo
Hailee Steinfeld is set to star in Winter Games, a romantic comedy set during the Winter Olympics. She’ll be joined by actor Miles Teller, and the film will be directed by Paul Downs Colaizzo, known for Brittany Runs a Marathon. This project combines two beloved genres — sports and romance — and is already generating buzz.
Adding to the excitement is Steinfeld’s real-life relationship with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, whom she married in May. Given Allen’s public support of her recent projects, fans are hoping he’ll make a cameo in the film.
What Is Winter Games About?
According to early reports, the film centers on a struggling skier and a once-famous hockey player, both at low points in their careers. They cross paths in the Olympic Village, and their unexpected connection complicates their individual quests for redemption — and possibly love.
The setup suggests an “enemies to lovers” storyline, a favorite trope in romantic comedies, with an added layer of underdog sports drama. With Steinfeld and Teller in the lead, expectations are high.
Could Josh Allen Appear in the Film?
While Allen has no acting background, fans are speculating about a possible cameo. Given his athletic experience and time spent in snowy Buffalo, he might believably portray another athlete in the Olympic Village — perhaps as a teammate or a brief romantic rival. It’s an idea fans are excited about, even if it’s just a fun “what if.”
Currently, there’s no official word from Paramount Pictures about Allen being involved. Filming schedules may also conflict with the NFL season, which runs from September to February — making a cameo unlikely but not impossible.
Looking Ahead
Since the film was just announced, it’s unlikely to premiere in 2025. However, with the next Winter Olympics scheduled for 2026 in Italy, that would be an ideal release window for this sports-themed rom-com.
For now, fans are eagerly awaiting more updates on Winter Games, both for its promising storyline and for any surprise appearances — Josh Allen or otherwise.
