Adam Sandler's new movie set to reunite Hollywood stars

The film is a sequel to the beloved 1996 sports comedy starring Adam Sandler, who will be returning as Happy Gilmore, the underdog golfer with a hockey past.

Bad Bunny's role in the movie remains a mystery for now, adding to the anticipation around the film's release.

In addition to Sandler reprising his iconic role, co-stars from the original movie Christopher McDonald and Julie Bowen are also set to return as Shooter McGavin and Virginia Venit.

For Bowen, this is a chance to revisit one of her earliest roles, before she gained widespread fame on shows like Modern Family, which earned her two Primetime Emmy Awards.

Bad Bunny will be joining a host of new faces in the sequel, including comedians Nick Swardson and Benny Safdie, whose roles are also under wraps.

NFL star Travis Kelce is expected to make a cameo appearance, bringing his larger-than-life personality to the mix.

Fans are curious about what Bad Bunny will bring to the table, as this is the latest project for the multi-talented performer, who has already made a mark in films like Bullet Train and F9.

Hapy Gilmore, a fan favorite among sports fans

The original Happy Gilmore was a massive commercial success, despite mixed reviews from critics, and it quickly became a favorite among comedy and sports fans alike.

It focused on the unlikely rise of Happy Gilmore, a failed hockey player who finds a surprising gift for golf and competes in a tournament to save his grandmother's home from foreclosure.

With Sandler back in the lead and a fresh wave of talent, the sequel has already sparked significant excitement, though Netflix has yet to announce a release date.

Production on Happy Gilmore 2 is set to start soon, according to Sandler, who shared a glimpse of the film's costume rack on social media.

"It ain't over. The way I see it... we've only just begun," he teased on Instagram.

The movie is co-written by Sandler and Happy Gilmore co-writer Tim Herlihy, with original director Dennis Dugan onboard as executive producer.

Workaholics director Kyle Newacheck is stepping in to helm the project, while long-time Sandler collaborators Jack Giarraputo and Robert Simonds will serve as producers.

Bad Bunny's casting continues his rise in Hollywood, following his recent roles in both film and television.

Though details about the film's plot and Bad Bunny's character are still unknown it is clear that Happy Gilmore 2 is shaping up to be a highly anticipated sequel with plenty of star power to draw fans in.
