Excitement is brewing for Happy Gilmore 2 as Netflix releases a new teaser trailer that not only confirms its release date but also showcases Adam Sandler engaging in various humorous golfing escapades. However, the trailer has sparked curiosity among fans, as one prominent cast member is notably absent.
The original Happy Gilmore, released in 1996, quickly became a classic in Adam Sandler’s filmography. The film follows a hockey player turned golfer who discovers a remarkable talent for the sport, despite struggling with patience and temperament. With nearly three decades passing since its debut, fans are eager to see the return of Happy Gilmore to the screen.
Despite the absence of Chubbs (played by the late Carl Weathers, who passed away in February 2024), most of the original cast is back. Fans can look forward to seeing Julie Bowen reprising her role as Virginia Venit, along with Ben Stiller as Hal L, and Christopher McDonald returning as the iconic Shooter McGavin. Additionally, new talent such as No Bunny will be joining the cast as Happy’s caddie.
MJF’s Absence Raises Questions in the Happy Gilmore 2 Trailer
A notable newcomer, professional wrestler Maxwell Jacob Friedman, known as MJF, has generated significant buzz, although details regarding his character remain undisclosed. Fans are keenly awaiting his role in the film, especially since he is conspicuously missing from the latest trailer.
While beloved characters reappear, viewers are left wondering about MJF’s potential role. One viewer expressed their confusion, asking, “Where is MJF?” Others speculated whether MJF could be connected to Shooter, suggesting he might indeed be playing Shooter’s son. While it was previously rumored that football star Travis Kelce would take on this role, confirmation is still pending.
Responses on social media reflect fans’ intrigue, with one user quipping, “I wonder if MJF is on the cutting room floor again.” Another commented on the apparent absence, stating, “MJF nowhere to be seen.”

As for the plot, details are being kept under wraps, but a brief description hints at an intriguing premise: “Happy Gilmore is back!” The teaser suggests that after taking a break from the sport, Happy, encouraged by Virginia, is set to make a grand return by competing in a major tournament. In the clip, Virginia motivates him, stating, “We’re not done with golf. Let them see the Happy I fell in love with.”
The teaser trailer concludes with the exciting announcement of the official release date: July 25, 2025. Fans can hardly wait to see what tales unfold when Happy returns to the green!
