The new trailer for Happy Gilmore 2, starring Adam Sandler and set for Netflix release on July 25, has finally given fans a look at the much-anticipated Becky Lynch cameo in Happy Gilmore 2 trailer, even though her screen time is limited. However, it is Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) who emerges as the standout in the latest footage, overshadowing even the wrestling stars who join the film’s ensemble cast.
MJF Takes Center Stage in New Happy Gilmore Sequel Footage
Following the original movie’s beloved comedy, Happy Gilmore 2 has been eagerly awaited, especially since news broke that Maxwell Jacob Friedman, former AEW World champion, would portray one of Happy’s children. The teaser trailer offered only a quick look at MJF’s character, but the expanded version released at Netflix’s TUDUM event on May 31 provides more depth. MJF is featured tackling various antics as part of the Gilmore family, such as dropping an elbow on the family car to help his father, bringing a Ben Stiller dummy for comedic effect, and appearing in graduation scenes alongside his siblings. His comedic performance and physical humor are highlighted throughout the trailer, firmly placing him at the center of the sequel’s buzz.
Spotting Becky Lynch and Other Wrestling Stars in the Cast
WWE’s Becky Lynch, long rumored to appear in Happy Gilmore 2, finally makes a brief but notable comedic appearance in the new trailer. Seen on the golf course with Nikki Bella, Lynch appears to be sharing a laugh, likely referencing real-world golfer Rory McElroy’s skills. Despite earlier promotional material keeping her off-screen, Lynch’s cameo solidifies her role in the ensemble cast, giving fans of wrestling additional reasons to watch for her contributions.
Another memorable addition is Bad Bunny, known for both his music career and his WrestleMania appearance alongside Damian Priest. In the sequel, Bad Bunny takes on the comic role of a waiter who inadvertently becomes Happy’s unprepared caddy, adding to the film’s lighthearted and absurd humor. His inclusion, along with other noted wrestling personalities, amplifies the sequel’s appeal to a broader audience.
The Anticipation and What’s Next for Happy Gilmore 2
With a cast featuring the likes of MJF, Becky Lynch, Nikki Bella, and Bad Bunny, Happy Gilmore 2 promises to blend classic slapstick with a new generation of talent. The Netflix release is expected to draw in not only fans of Sandler’s original but also followers of the wrestling world, thanks to notable cameos and cross-genre appeal. As anticipation builds for the film’s July debut, viewers are eager to see how these stars’ performances contribute to the continuation of the beloved Happy Gilmore story.
