From sold-out arenas to the silver screen — Kane Brown is taking his talents to Tinseltown.
Country music’s crossover king just landed his first feature film role, joining actor Taylor Lautner in the upcoming romantic comedy The Token Groomsman. And y’all, it sounds like this wedding-themed wild ride is going to be equal parts hilarious and heartwarming.
Who’s Kane Playing?
Kane will star as Neil, the best friend and level-headed moral compass to Lautner’s character, Scott. Think less “drunk groomsman doing karaoke” and more “voice of reason in the middle of absolute wedding chaos.”
Director Natalie Simpkins called Kane’s performance “a rare mix of vulnerability and magnetism” — and if you’ve ever seen him perform live or tear up while singing “For My Daughter,” you already know she’s not wrong.
So, What’s the Movie About?
The Token Groomsman follows Scott on a chaotic wedding weekend full of bad decisions, big emotions, and maybe a shot at love. It’s giving classic rom-com energy with a country twist — and with Kane in the mix, expect some unexpected depth between the laughs.
The film will get a 2,500-screen theatrical release here in the U.S. via the Attend platform, with international sales handled by Radiant Films. That means yes, you will get to see Kane Brown on the big screen in your hometown theater.
A Natural Next Step
Let’s be real — Kane’s been flirting with acting for a minute now. Between his guest role on Fire Country, hosting the CMT Awards three years running, and starring in national ad campaigns, it was only a matter of time before Hollywood came knocking. And with a role like this? We’re betting it won’t be his last.
Country Star. Movie Star. What’s Next?
Kane’s already got 12 No. 1 singles, a growing list of humanitarian awards, and a new album (The High Road) lighting up the charts. Now with The Token Groomsman on the way, he’s officially entering his “can do it all” era.
Stay tuned to CMNB for updates on release dates, trailers, and exclusive behind-the-scenes moments as filming kicks off later this year. In the meantime, tell us — are you excited to see Kane make his rom-com debut? Or are you just hoping there’s a shirtless scene?
