Tom Bradyand three of his former New England Patriots teammates are reuniting for the big screen.

In aVarietyinterview this week, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback revealed thatRob Gronkowskiand former Patriots wide receiversJulian EdelmanandDanny Amendolawould appear alongside him in80 for Brady, an upcoming sports comedy.

On Thursday, Brady posted a photo toTwittershowing him and the group wearing their old Patriots uniforms, initially suggesting that the foursome was announcing a return to play for New England.

“BREAKING NEWS: Nah just kidding, we did get the band back together to shoot 80 for Brady though,” the superstar quarterback wrote.

The film isbased on a true storyabout four New England Patriots fans who take a chaotic road trip to see Brady play in 2017’s Super Bowl LI. The four former Patriots are all expected to cameo as themselves in the project.

“We’ve been part of a lot of battles together,” 44-year-old Brady toldVariety.

All four athletes played together on two of New England’s Super Bowl-winning teams. Brady, 33-year-old Gronkowski, 36-year-old Edelman and Amendola played significant roles in the Patriots’record-breaking comeback victory over the Atlanta Falcons at Super Bowl LI.

While Amendola, 36, departed the Patriots before the 2018 NFL season, Brady, Edelman and Gronkowski also went on to win Super Bowl LIII.

“We’ve never been on a movie set together, but it felt like we were back in the locker room when we were there,” Brady toldVarietyabout filming the movie together. “Anytime I get my friends involved in things that I’m doing, it makes it that much more enjoyable for me.”

Brady serves as a producer and actor on80 for Brady, which starsSally FieldandRita Moreno, along with Netflix’sGrace and FrankiestarsJane FondaandLily Tomlin.

The future Hall of Fame quarterback toldVarietythat his role in the film was small and only required a two-day shoot. However, Brady also said he found playing himself in a movie “challenging — sometimes hard.”

“Because you’re always paying attention to yourself as yourself rather than the character you’re playing. I don’t think that’s natural for me,” Brady said of acting as himself. “What I’ve done for 23 years in sports is play myself. There’s no acting. It’s me on the field. When I’m pissed, I’m pissed. When I’m happy, I’m happy. I’m not playing a role. So when I got to go play a role, I have no programming for that. There’s not a lot of experiences to fall back on other than a few commercials that I’ve done.”

In April, Bradyposted a photo of himself with the80 for Bradycastagainst a green screenon Instagramto share his gratitude for their participation in the upcoming film.

“80 For Brady! So grateful for these legendary women and the entire team that’s working to bring this story to life. How many times do you think I had to call for my lines?” Brady wrote in the caption.

Fonda, 84,told PEOPLEin March that Brady sent her a “humongous” floral arrangement after her shoulder replacement.

“He sent me a humongous thing of orchids because I had my shoulder replaced. I think it’s going to last forever … the shoulder and the orchids,” Fonda said.
