Adam Sandler shares ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ teaser with Travis Kelce, Shooter McGavin

Adam Sandler just made sure fans were having a Happy holiday by teeing up a first look at the sequel to one of his most beloved comedies.

The Sandman shared a teaser for Happy Gilmore 2 on his Instagram on Wednesday, writing alongside it, “Happy Chanukah! Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! And Happy Gilmore to all!!!!!!”

The sneak peek at the upcoming Netflix film — a follow-up to the 1996 comedy starring Sandler as a short-fused wannabe hockey player who uses his slap shot skills to become a pro golfer — shows Happy back on the golf course in his Boston Bruins jersey.

The short clip offers a glimpse at NFL star Travis Kelce, months after Sandler revealed the Kansas City Chiefs tight end had a role in the upcoming film. “It’s great to see you back, Mr. Gilmore,” Kelce, donning what appears to be a waiter uniform, says.

Sandler previously said he had considered casting Taylor Swift’s main squeeze as his son in the movie. “We were like, ‘Imagine if Travis was my first baby, how funny that would be?’ Just a badass,” Sandler said on an episode of Travis and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast. In an earlier podcast episode, the Super Bowl champ had denied rumors he had been cast but pleaded for a part, saying, “I didn’t even know there was a job opening for Happy Gilmore 2, but if there is, I’ll be a f—ing extra. Anything to get around Happy Gilmore, an Adam Sandler film, or set — count me in.”

The teaser also sees the return of Modern Family star Julie Bowen as public relations head Virginia Venit, who is also Happy’s love interest, and ends with a graveyard face-off between Happy and his old rival Shooter McGavin (Christopher McDonald).

Newcomers to the sequel cast include Bad Bunny (shown as a caddy in the teaser), Margaret Qualley, Scott Mescudi (a.k.a. rapper Kid Cudi), Benny Safdie, and Nick Swardson.

Happy Gilmore was the Saturday Night Live all-star’s second major film as writer and star following 1995’s Billy Madison. It premiered in February 1996, grossing more than $41 million worldwide. The film, featuring a scene-stealing cameo from late Price Is Right host Bob Barker, endures as an oft-quoted comedy hit.
