MJF is making it a family affair in Happy Gilmore 2.
Last month, Deadline reported MJF joined the cast of Adam Sandler’s Happy Gilmore 2. PWInsider later reported he will play Gordie Gilmore, one of Happy Gilmore’s sons, in the film.
The first footage of MJF in the role has made its way online. A fan captured footage of a scene where Sandler, MJF and others are seen walking out of a courthouse building, trying to keep the press corp back. The full context of the scene is unknown.
More details on MJF’s upcoming movies
Fightful (via Fightful Select) reports that Max has a “significant role” in the movie. Filming was expected to run through November in New Jersey. MJF is expected to return to AEW “sooner rather than later”, but there is no specific date for his on-air return. Max has reportedly been on set since going on hiatus from AEW at All Out.
MJF has not been seen in AEW since All Out. Max defeated Daniel Garcia at the pay-per-view, but he was written off television in a post-match angle.
MJF also landed two other roles in upcoming movies. He landed an unknown role in Stranglehold, a comedic thriller featuring Justin Long and Ron Perlman. Stranglehold also features Ryan Nemeth and Kayla Becker (fka Kayla Braxton) as part of the cast. Nemeth is credited as “Leon’s Dude Terry” while Becker is listed as “Crystal.”
Max is also set to appear in The Floaters, described as a Jewish summer camp comedy from Jackie Tohn starring Seth Green and Aya Cash.
