Eli Manning’s second act in media just took an unexpected turn toward Hollywood. For 16 seasons, Eli Manning broke down game film to dissect defenses. Now, he’s turning that same critical eye to Hollywood’s version of football, and his verdict is in. The New York Giants legend is stepping into the entertainment space with a project that blends football knowledge with popular sports movies.

“We come to this place for magic.” The NFL legend said in the video. “We come to my YouTube channel to laugh, to cry, to care, because we need that, all of us. That indescribable feeling we get when we get a notification on our phone. And we realize that I’ve posted a new video…the sound of my voice in your AirPods. Somehow, sports movies feel better in a place like this…this is Eli at the Movies.”

Manning opened with a monologue that spoofed classic movie theater introductions. His words underline the purpose of the series. The former Giants quarterback is not creating films but reacting to them, using his experience to explain what feels real and what does not. The show is meant to entertain fans while offering insight drawn from his years studying football film.

Manning explains that the series is meant to be enjoyed anywhere, whether on a phone or a laptop, and is designed to make sports movies feel more fun and relatable. He adds that the mix of humor and familiar sports heroes is what brings Eli At The Movies together.

Eli Manning is no stranger to the media world. Since retiring from the NFL, the former Giants quarterback has built a strong second act in sports media. He co-hosts ESPN’s popular Manningcast alongside Peyton. The alternate Monday Night Football broadcast has become must-watch television.

He has also starred in Eli’s Places on ESPN+. The series sees Manning explore the stories and culture of college football beyond the field. Together, these projects make one thing clear: life after football has not slowed Eli Manning down.

With Eli At The Movies, Manning continues to stay close to the game in a new way. The series blends football insight with entertainment, giving fans a fresh perspective from a quarterback who spent years breaking down plays and preparing at the highest level.
