The universe has officially gone mad: Bad Bunny—yes, the Bad Bunny—is hopping his way into a Happy Gilmore sequel, because why not? If anyone told you a reggaeton star would team up with Adam Sandler to revisit a classic 90s comedy about a guy with serious anger issues and golf skills, you’d probably have thought, “Yeah, that sounds like something that would happen in 2024.”
But wait, it gets better. The guy directing this chaos? Kyle Newacheck, the genius behind Murder Mystery (aka the Netflix film where Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston solved crimes and ate an embarrassing amount of croissants). He’s officially the captain of this Happy Gilmore sequel, and let’s just say expectations are sky-high and also slightly unhinged. Plot details are still top secret, which either means they’re crafting a cinematic masterpiece or someone misplaced the script.
Bad Bunny’s role? Still a mystery. Is he a pro golfer with mad dance moves? A DJ who remixes golf swings into chart-topping beats? An actual bunny? The world may never know—until they release that first juicy trailer.
Meanwhile, fan favorites Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald are back as Virginia Venit and Shooter McGavin, because what’s a golf movie without an onscreen love interest and a villain with a questionable mustache?
Adam Sandler is so hyped, he took to Instagram like a proud dad at a little league game. “It ain’t over. The way I see it… we’ve only just begun,” he wrote, presumably while practicing his legendary Happy Gilmore swing in the mirror. Translation: filming has started, and Sandler’s ready to take another swing at cinematic greatness.
Oh, and did I mention Adam is co-writing this masterpiece with his trusty sidekick, Tim Herlihy? If their previous collaborations are anything to go by, this sequel could be either the next Citizen Kane or the best worst movie you’ll ever see. Either way, popcorn’s ready!
