Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller spotted the rest of the shoot

Adam Sandler is back in the (golf) swing!

Filming for Merry Gilmore 2The highly anticipated sequel to the 1996 sports comedy classic is underway — and Sandler, 58, and his partner Ben Stiller are back like they never left.

Photos taken on Friday, November 8, show the two actors on the set of the upcoming film in Kearny, New Jersey.

Stiller, 58, seamlessly reprized his role as a two-faced nurse — named Hal L., after his name tag — who lied to Happy (played by Sandler) about how his grandmother was treated at the retirement home. .

However, his order uniform is gone – except for his signature badge. Instead, Stiller was spotted wearing a patterned blue button-down shirt, a black vest and blue jeans, along with yellow aviator sunglasses and a horseshoe mustache.

He was also photographed alongside stuntman Greg Fitzpatrick, who wore the same outfit and biker mustache.

Meanwhile, Sandler, who plays the hockey star turned professional golfer, was seen in a “Sandlercore” essential: a loose hoodie and a t-shirt.

Photos from the New Jersey shoot arrive more than six months later Christopher McDonald – who played Happy’s competitor, Shooter McGavin, in Merry Gilmore — let slip that a sequel film was in the works during an interview in March 2024.

Sandler confirmed the news the following month, and Netflix officially confirmed in May that the actor would reprise his iconic role.

Besides Stiller and McDonald, the cast of Merry Gilmore 2 will also include Travis Kelce and Benny Safdie, who will have “a juicy role,” Sandler said IndieWire in August.

The extent of Kelce’s involvement, however, remains unclear. On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in August, Sandler said that “We have something nice for Travis” and “he will pass”.

After announcing the NFL star’s role in the sequel, Sandler appeared on Kelce’s podcast New heights to talk about the upcoming film – and revealed a little more about its plot.

“The movie itself was inspired by an older guy who played golf for a long time,” the actor said at the time. “There are some things going on in his life, and he’s different – ​​he’s a bit of a mess.”

“And then we try to get his life back on track,” Sandler added.
