Adam Sandler fans beloved sports comedy Happy Gilmore they had been waiting for a sequel for years and their patience soon paid off. The upcoming Happy Gilmore 2 is now officially in production and new updates are starting to appear. With all the new details, it’s hard to say what’s more exciting – golfer John Daly’s involvement or the release date news!

This was confirmed by John Daly, known for his colorful personality and strength on the golf course OutKick that it is indeed part of the sequel. It really makes sense that Adam Sandler wanted to include this athlete in the film, given his connection to the game of golf. As some may remember, the original film featured golf veterans Mark Lye and Lee. As for Daly’s position production-wise, he had some great news:

However, what’s even more exciting is that the 58-year-old sports icon also hinted that fans won’t have to wait too long for the sequel as it will likely debut early Movie premiere schedule in 2025. Big John teased that the movie will most likely hit one of them best streaming servicesNetflix, potentially around March or April next year. With a wink and a smile, he added jokingly, “Shh!” keep everything a secret, even though I can’t contain my excitement.

Can you believe it? Although a continuation of one of the most iconic comedies of the 90s once seemed unlikely, John Daly’s “Wild Thing” gives us a lot of hope that we are less than a year away from its realization. Not to mention we get to see one of the wildest athletes to ever play the sport in some ways! But will it be a cameo as him or as a character? It’s hard to say, but regardless, I’m sure it will be used in interesting ways.

I’m excited about Daly’s involvement, but many questions about the plot remain open. In September 2024, Netflix confirmed that Christopher McDonald would return as one of the vilest 90s movie villains, Shooter McGavin, alongside Julie Bowen as Virginia Venit. What’s particularly intriguing is that Bowen revealed that the cast will be reduced for some flashback scenes as well. This makes me curious about what to expect from the sequel.
