Adam Sandler is disappointed that one very important part of "Happy Gilmore" will not be happening for the sequel coming to Netflix on July 25.
On February 16, 1996, Universal Pictures introduced Happy Gilmore to audiences. The Adam Sandler starrer went on to gross $41 million and became a cable TV perennial enroute to its belated Netflix sequel in 2025. The Hollywood Reporter’s original review is below:
'Happy Gilmore 2' Had 'Painful Change' After Iconic Actor's Death originally appeared on Parade. Adam Sandler opened up about the sudden changes he made in the highly anticipated Happy Gilmore 2 following the passing of a beloved cast member.
Legendary 'Rocky' actor Carl Weathers died just months before shooting began on the Adam Sandler Netflix sequel to 'Happy Gilmore.'
Bad Bunny, who has ventured into Hollywood with roles in films like Bullet Train (2022) and Cassandro (2023), is confirmed for an unspecified role in Happy Gilmore 2. “Benito 🤝 Sandler,” read the X post, using Bad Bunny’s real name, Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. “Benito Martínez Ocasio will star in Happy Gilmore 2!”
