As a long-time cinema enthusiast with a keen interest in both wrestling and comedy, I must say that the news of MJF joining the cast of Happy Gilmore 2 has me absolutely thrilled! This man’s charisma and talent have made him one of AEW’s brightest stars, and his ability to navigate between the worlds of fiction and reality is nothing short of captivating.
Previously crowned AEW World Champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman (often referred to as MJF) has officially been added to the cast of “Happy Gilmore 2”, the upcoming sequel to Adam Sandler’s popular 1996 comedy that is now in production. MJF will appear alongside Sandler’s return, along with Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald, who are set to reprise their characters Virginia Venit and Shooter McGavin respectively. The film is scheduled to premiere on Netflix at some point next year.
By the given deadline, specifics about Friedman’s character are still concealed, leaving it uncertain whether he’ll make a brief appearance or take on a more substantial role. The wrestling legend has been venturing into Hollywood lately, having a part last year in A24’s “The Iron Claw,” where he served as an executive producer. He also utilized his vocal skills for the direct-to-video animated release, “Justice League × RWBY: Super Heroes & Huntsmen,” where he voiced Waylon Jones, better known as Killer Croc. More recently, Friedman completed filming for “The Floaters,” an independent comedy with Seth Green and Aya Cash, and is also set to appear in the comedic thriller “Stranglehold” alongside Ron Pearlman and Justin Long.
As a movie critic, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing some truly captivating performances, but none quite as mesmerizing as Maxwell Jacob Friedman, or MJF, in the wrestling ring of AEW. This 28-year-old prodigy has mastered the art of blending fiction with reality, a feat achieved through his unparalleled mic skills that leave audiences spellbound.
MJF Joins a Growing List of Stars for Happy Gilmore 2
Although a definite launch date remains undecided, Friedman has joined a growing roster of celebrities who have agreed to star in the upcoming film “Happy Gilmore 2”, which is currently being filmed in New Jersey. It’s been confirmed that Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will appear for a cameo, as well as Margaret Qualley from “The Substance”. Additionally, Grammy Award-winning artist Bad Bunny and Benny Safdie, the director of Adam Sandler’s “Uncut Gems”, are also set to make appearances in the movie.
Details about the plot for Happy Gilmore 2 have yet to be revealed, however, it’s been suggested that the storyline could focus on Adam Sandler’s character participating in a senior golf tournament due to his advanced age. Filming was recently underway at a mini-golf and driving range in Hackettstown, New Jersey as of September 17th, and some behind-the-scenes images and videos were captured this week, giving fans a sneak peek into what they might expect from the sequel.
We’ll provide updates about Happy Gilmore 2, sharing potential cast members for the follow-up, once more details emerge. Right now, you can watch the original Happy Gilmore on Peacock.
