Travis has made no secret of his desire to step into the entertainment world once his stellar NFL career draws to a close, having made an appearance on Saturday Night Live last year as well as working as an executive producer on the film My Dead Friend Zoe.
The 34-year-old has already been getting a taste of life on the red carpet as he continues his romance with singing mega-star Taylor Swift.
But the insider says plans are in motion for both Kelce brothers to work on a light-hearted action movie with "many humorous moments" and a tasty $100 million budget.
The U.S. Sun understands the talks have been very productive, with Hollywood producers confident the duo are "the best guys" to see their idea become a smash hit on the silver screen.

"Their natural and funny personalities would be great to be part of a movie project," said the source.
With his relationship with Swift thrusting Travis into the mainstream and his New Heights podcast continuing to bring in huge numbers, a move into show business appears the obvious move.
Jason, as revealed by The U.S. Sun, has impressed TV executives and is mulling over offers to become a pundit next season after tearfully hanging up his cleats earlier this year.
