There have been countless casting updates about the movie since the project was first announced in May. Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald, Dennis Dugan and Ben Stiller are reprising their roles from the original.
In addition to Bad Bunny, other new cast members include AEW star MJF, WWE superstar Becky Lynch, Margaret Qualley and Benny Safdie. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has filmed a cameo. Several PGA Tour stars will also make cameo appearances, including Jordan Spieth, Jack Nicklaus, Rickie Fowler, Lee Trevino and Corey Pavin.
Bad Bunny has dabbled in acting away from his regular job as a rapper. He's appeared in blockbuster projects like F9 and Bullet Train. He also had a supporting role in the 2023 film Cassandro about 1980s luchador Saúl Armendáriz.
A teaser trailer was released on Christmas Day, but it doesn't offer many specific plot details.
Netflix has yet to announce a release date, but it is expected to drop at some point this year.
Happy Gilmore was released in 1996 and became one of Sandler's most beloved comedy films. The sequel, like the original, was co-written by Sandler and Tim Herlihy. It is being directed by Kyle Newacheck, who previously worked with Sandler on Murder Mystery.
