MJF Wraps on Happy Gilmore 2; Reportedly Lands Another Movie Role

Former AEW World Champion MJF is getting multiple opportunities to prove his acting chops.

MJF has not wrestled for AEW since All Out in Chicago, but the former World Champion has remained busy away from the ring.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select is reporting that Maxwell has now wrapped up filming on the set of Happy Gilmore 2, which is currently under production for a release on Netflix in March of 2025.

While there have been no official details released about his character, it's believed that MJF will have more than just a cameo appearance. PWInsider has heard that MJF will be portraying one of star Adam Sandler's sons in the long-awaited sequel. A blue-collar New Englander with a love of hockey, just like his father.

MJF on set for Happy Gilmore 2

MJF was on set throughout September, according to Fightful, and is expected back on AEW programming sooner rather than later now that he's finished with filming.

Sean Ross Sapp is also reporting that MJF has secured a role in a different Hollywood project, but he could provide very few details other than it's a feature-length film with Justin Long and Ron Pearlman already attached to the project.

Deadline reported earlier this summer that Long and Perlman had been cast in Clark Duke's upcoming movie called Stranglehold, but production on that film has already wrapped up. There's no indication that MJF was part of that project, but it's possible he could have filmed his scenes before any word of his casting had surfaced.
