In a surprising unveiling, Christopher MacDonald, best known for his role as Shooter McGavin in Happy Gilmore, revealed that a sequel to the beloved sports comedy is in development. MacDonald, in a recent interview with Audacy's 92.3 The Fan, exposed that Adam Sandler surprised him with a script for Happy Gilmore 2.
A Surprise from Sandler
The actor shared his recent interaction with Sandler, quoting, “I saw Adam Sandler about two weeks ago, and he said, ‘McDonald, you're gonna love this.' And he showed me the first draft of ‘Happy Gilmore 2.'” The statement sparked excitement among fans who have been hoping for a sequel.
Fans Demanding a Sequel
Despite MacDonald implying that his reveal may be premature, the news is out. There's no electrifying the buzz around Happy Gilmore 2. He hinted that their fans' demands might play a significant role in this decision. Speaking with a dash of humor, MacDonald acknowledged, “fans demand it” and therefore, a sequel might just be around the corner.
Until now, Sandler's representatives have yet to comment on the matter. While it can't be confirmed to be true or just a tale spun by one of the original cast members, the sequel, if made, could see several of the original cast reprising their roles.
A Tribute to Lost Members
Once confirmed, Happy Gilmore 2 could mark the return of actors like Julie Bowen, Allen Covert, and possibly Joe Flarety. However, key members of the original cast like Frances Bay, Richard Kiel, and Carl Weathers, who have passed away since might receive tributes in the sequel.
Bay and Kiel played vital roles in the original movie, contributing majorly to its success while Weathers, an undisputed legend in Hollywood, minted the role of Happy's friend and coach, Chubbs. Weathers' death in February dealt a severe blow to the Hollywood circuit. As fans, we can only hope that the sequel will pay a fitting tribute to these remarkable actors.
Awaiting Sandler's Confirmation
With speculations rife and the audience eagerly waiting, fans await Sandler's official confirmation on the project. Until then, it's a game of wait-and-watch as anticipation around Happy Gilmore 2 continues to build.
