Bad Bunny Joins Adam Sandler in ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ (Exclusive)

As a devoted fan who has grown up with the iconic comedy “Happy Gilmore,” I am absolutely thrilled to see the return of this beloved franchise! The addition of the multi-talented Bad Bunny to the cast is nothing short of electrifying. His charisma, energy, and unique appeal make him an ideal fit for any project he takes on, and I have no doubt that he will bring a fresh and exciting dynamic to the table in this sequel.


Music star Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasío, better recognized as Bad Bunny, is set to take on his next acting gig. He’ll be part of the ensemble for the upcoming sequel to “Happy Gilmore,” starring Adam Sandler.

Kyle Newacheck, the director behind Sandler’s Netflix comedy “Murder Mystery,” is set to lead the Netflix sequel of the 1996 comedy about an aspiring hockey player who unexpectedly excels at golf and embarks on a tour against his will, eventually gaining fame. The specifics of the sequel’s plot are currently confidential.

In the upcoming sequel, Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald reprise their roles from the original movie. They played Virginia Venit, who was Sandler’s romantic interest on screen, and Shooter McGavin, a resentful golf professional who served as the film’s antagonist.

Filming has commenced for the comedy production, as Adam Sandler announced on Instagram on Monday: “This isn’t the end. My perspective is that… we’re merely starting out.

Sandler and Tim Herlihy are penning the script and are set to produce this project alongside Jack Giarraputo and Robert Simonds. Dennis Dugan, who directed the original ‘Happy Gilmore’, will serve as an executive producer, along with Judit Maull, Kevin Grady, David Bausch, and Barry Bernardi.

Regarding Bad Bunny, who is represented by UTA and Rimas Entertainment, his upcoming film will represent another step into acting for him. Previously, he acted alongside Brad Pitt in the action comedy “Bullet Train” produced by Sony and with Gael García Bernal in the Amazon drama “Cassandro“. Up next is Darren Aronofsky’s crime thriller “Caught Stealing” at Sony Pictures.

Last year, in an article featured on the cover of Vanity Fair, the music sensation expressed, “Perhaps I’ve been putting a tad more of my personal self into acting.
