It’s almost a reality - Happy Gilmore will be available for Netflix subscribers in a few days.

Sports and movie stars showed up for the premiere on July 21

Scottie Scheffler, Margaret Qualley, Bad Bunny, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, Julie Bowen and Adam Sandler, amongst others, were present at the premiere.

He will be accompanied by two other original cast members: Julie Bowen (Pro Golf Tour PR officer Virginia Venit) and [Golf pro Shooter McGavin] Christopher McDonald. Bowen return to the big screen following her successful stint in the ABC hit television sitcom Modern Family. In addition to them, new stars will make up the main cast of the sequel to this golf comedy.

Sadler gave an update on the sequel on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: “We’re getting ready to shoot it in New Jersey. It’s good, we worked hard on the script, we didn’t want to let anybody down. People have been asking me for a long time, ‘Do you have a Gilmore 2′? and I was like, ‘Nah, I don’t want to let you down’. But me and my buddy Tim Herlihy, we came up with this idea, we’re really excited about it. We wrote our asses off to try to make it a movie that you guys will like. So many golfers are going to be a part of it”.

Which new actors are joining the film?

In addition to Sandler, Bowen and McDonald, other actors are confirmed to star in Happy Gilmore 2 include Benny Safdie, who had a role in minor films such as Licorice Pizza or Oppenheimer. However, he is best known for forming, together with his brother Josh, the directing duo that has made masterpieces such as Uncut Gems, with Sandler as the lead.

Nick Swardson will also be in the film. The actor is a veteran in the comedy genre and has already worked with Sandler in films such as Click.

Ben Stiller also appears in the movie as well as Paige Sprinac, Margaret Qualley and Nick Swardson amongst others.

Travis Kelce and Bad Bunny cameos

The two most surprising cast members who are set to have cameo roles in Happy Gilmore 2 are Travis Kelce and Bad Bunny. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, a a three-time Super Bowl champion and also known for being Taylor Swift’s current partner, has no experience at all but Sandler believes he has the perfect role for him.

“Travis mentioned it so we have a nice something for Travis. He’s going to come by and he’s so cool, he’s a very nice guy - you guys would love him in real life, what a big handsome guy, he’s so funny,” Sandler explained.

The other big star, Bad Bunny, has started to have relevant roles in recent years, such as a cameo in Fast & Furious 9 or the performance in Bullet Train. Happy Gilmore 2 will bring all of these stars together to bring golf back to the top of the film scene almost 30 years later.

Several professional golfers also make appearances in the movie: Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau, Collin Morikawa, Scottie Scheffler, John Daly and Lee Trevino.
