The original sports comedy Happy Gilmore was released in 1996, starring Adam Sandler. The film grossed 41 million worldwide with a budget of 12 million. The film follows a professional hockey player who discovers his talent in the sport of golf and struggles with anger. To this day, it is one of Adam Sandler’s most popular films. The rumors originated from Christopher McDonald in March 2024. McDonald said Sandler had a draft for the sequel ready. The legendary actor Adam Sandler said many times that he would be more than interested in returning for the role. However, he wanted to do the original justice so fans wouldn’t hate it. He toyed around with many ideas,

Sandler stated on Variety’s podcast Awards Circuit, “Wouldn’t that be fun to do the senior tour of Happy Gilmore and hang out with all those guys and try to write a great script about Happy as an older guy and having to calm down his temper and all that stuff? But I never know. Maybe one day, something like that,” and that day has finally come.” Fans can speculate that the film will follow a story similar to the one stated by Sandler, returning to the character’s roots of anger management and golf, which ensures audiences feel familiar with the movie’s setting.

Cast And Crew

Some new faces are being added to the cast like Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, also known as the musical artist Bad Bunny. Julie Bowen will make a return as the love interest, along with Christopher McDonald, who will play the jealous golf pro villain. Kyle Newacheck will take on the director position for Happy Gilmore 2, for he has experience directing Adam Sandler in Murder Mystery. The original director, Dennis Dugan, returns to the franchise as well, but this time as the executive producer. Audiences and fans will be happy to know that Adam Sandler has announced that Happy Gilmore 2 is officially in production.

Adam Sandler celebrates the beginning of production with a quote posted to his Instagram stating, “It ain’t over. The way I see it… we’ve only just begun.”
