Bad Bunny Caddying for Adam Sandler in ‘Happy Gilmore 2’

In the sneak peek of Netflix’s upcoming comedy sequel, “Happy Gilmore 2,” Adam Sandler receives assistance while playing golf.

On Thursday, the streaming platform unveiled a first look photo of an upcoming movie, aligning with the company’s announcement of their planned movie, TV, and game projects for the next year. In director Kyle Newacheck’s sequel, Adam Sandler will reprise his character as the unexpected golf prodigy he first played in Universal’s 1996 film Happy Gilmore. Filming for this project was completed last month.

In the recently released snapshot, you can see Sandler about to execute one of his iconic golf swings, this time with assistance from caddy Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, better recognized as the musician Bad Bunny. Meanwhile, an earlier image displays a confrontation between Sandler and his long-standing rival Shooter McGavin, with Christopher McDonald reprising his role from the original film.

As of Thursday’s announcement by Netflix, no official premiere date has been given for the upcoming film “Happy Gilmore 2,” though Adam Sandler had previously suggested a summer release might be on the cards. The cast includes Julie Bowen, Margaret Qualley, Travis Kelce, Conor Sherry, Ethan Cutowsky, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, and Philip Fine Schneider. Dennis Dugan, who directed the original film and serves as executive producer for the sequel, will also appear in the new movie.

In a follow-up, we see the return of Sandler, Tim Herlihy, Robert Simonds, and Jack Giarraputo. The duo of Sandler and Herlihy are responsible for writing the screenplay for Happy Gilmore 2, having previously written the original film’s script as well.

In a recent conversation on the Dan Patrick Show, Sandler openly spoke about experiencing pressure to meet the expectations set by the initial movie.

At that moment, the star expressed, ‘There’s something you’re pondering about,’ referring to our project. Our aim is to ensure everything we have – which is quite promising – flows seamlessly from beginning to end. That’s our target. We’ll have to wait and see how it turns out. Yes, there are nerves involved, but there’s also a sense of assurance.
