Adam Sandler is officially stepping back onto the golf course in the much-anticipated sequel Happy Gilmore 2, a follow-up to the beloved 1996 sports comedy. The announcement has generated major buzz among fans who’ve long hoped to see the return of Sandler’s iconic character, the hot-headed hockey player-turned-golfer. With Sandler reprising his role and several familiar faces set to return, the film is being billed as a nostalgic, yet fresh continuation of the cult classic.
The sequel reportedly picks up years after the events of the original, with Happy now navigating life as a golf veteran dealing with fame, aging, and new rivalries on the PGA Tour. According to early plot teases, Happy may be mentoring a young, promising golfer with a rebellious streak of his own, reflecting Happy’s early days. Themes of redemption, mentorship, and legacy are expected to shape the storyline while keeping the same comedic tone that made the first film a fan favorite.
One of the biggest surprises is a cameo from none other than Eminem. The Detroit icon, known for his sharp humor and love of pop culture, is expected to appear as an exaggerated version of himself in a golf showdown scene with Happy. The unexpected crossover has excited both movie and music fans, with many speculating the cameo could steal the spotlight as one of the film’s funniest moments.
In the latest interview, Adam Sandler said there is an 1-hour version of Eminem bloopers for the movie: “Eminem was hilarious. There is one hour version of just Eminem that makes you laugh. That was an amazing day on set. He came to play.” Watch the interview below:
