Happy Gilmore 2 casts major musician, plus two original stars (find out who!)

As a seasoned gamer who’s been through countless cinematic adventures, I can confidently say that the news of Adam Sandler’s Happy Gilmore sequel at Netflix is nothing short of electrifying! With production underway and an impressive lineup of new cast members joining the fray, this sequel is shaping up to be a grand slam.

The sequel of Adam Sandler’s “Happy Gilmore” on Netflix is swiftly taking shape! Earlier this year, the project received the go-ahead from the streaming service and since then, news about casting has been popping up as filming begins. Apart from Sandler reprising his role as the main character, the movie recently added three fresh faces to its cast!

On September 9th, Netflix revealed that the production of “Happy Gilmore 2” has started, as indicated by a social media post which included an image showcasing Happy’s distinctive Boston Bruins jersey. Adam Sandler previously hinted to Jimmy Fallon that filming would take place in New Jersey. Although we haven’t received a photo of Sandler reprising his iconic role yet, it seems highly probable that one will be released extremely soon.

Before it was publicly known that filming had started, Adam Sandler disclosed that Travis Kelce, a three-time Super Bowl champion and aspiring actor from the Kansas City Chiefs, will make a guest appearance in Happy Gilmore 2. He’ll be acting alongside Sandler, a well-known musician (not his partner), and two other stars from the original film.

Bad Bunny and two fan-favorites join Happy Gilmore 2

On September 10th, it was announced that Bad Bunny, also known as Benito MartĂ­nez Ocasio in his acting career, has joined the cast of Happy Gilmore 2. This news is certainly thrilling for fans of Bad Bunny, but Deadline mentions that specific details about the music star’s role are being kept confidential at this time.

Apart from his thriving music journey, Bad Bunny has made appearances in films like F9, Bullet Train, Cassandro, and is set to feature in Caught Stealing. Additionally, he played a recurring character in Narcos: Mexico on Netflix.

For enthusiasts of “Happy Gilmore”, an added thrill is that Netflix has announced the return of two stars from the 1996 film. Julie Bowen, who portrayed Happy’s girlfriend Virginia Venit, will reprise her role in the upcoming sequel, as well as Christopher McDonald, who played Happy’s rival Shooter McGavin.

At the moment, specific details about the plot are still unclear, leaving us unsure of how much Virginia and Shooter might appear in the sequel. However, it could be intriguing if they turn out to have significant roles, such as being Sandler’s family members, given that he once joked about Zach Efron (Kelce) playing his son.

As a die-hard Happy Gilmore fan, I can’t imagine a sequel without the return of Bowen and McDonald, bringing their unique charm back into the mix with Sandler. It’s a given that we’ll see some fresh faces joining Happy’s world, even some golf superstars making appearances. Yet, it’s crucial to have two familiar, essential faces on board to keep the magic alive.
