Create Account During a recent interview on the Inside of You podcast, Bowen, 55, said she assumed that her character would be replaced in the follow-up with producers opting to give Adam Sandler's titular golfer a younger love interest this time around. 'I didn't think they'd bring me back at all,' the Modern Family star said. 'I mean, who am I supposed to be? He's got to have a younger woman in this one, Happy Gilmore 2 .' In the 1996 original, Bowen played a PR rep who helped Happy navigate life on the links before the two fell for one another. Bowen returns for the new instalment alongside Sandler, Ben Stiller and Christopher McDonald. Julie Bowen and Adam Sandler in a scene from 1996's 'Happy Gilmore.' Photo by Universal Pictures Bowen said that she didn't even think she would be cast in the first film, saying that she presumed that producers would go with a 'hot girl.' 'I read and they were relieved,' she told host Michael Rosenbaum. 'They were visibly relieved. I go, 'What's going on?' They're like, 'Yeah, some of these girls are just so aggressively sexy.' And I was like, 'That's a bad thing?'' Although she has a smaller role in the upcoming movie, Bowen said that Sandler says she's an important part of the continuation. 'Adam's like, 'Stop saying that. You're the heart of the movie,'' she said. Bowen's comments echoed remarks she made last month at Netflix's TUDUM event in Los Angeles when she told The Hollywood Reporter that she didn't think she would be in it when she heard Happy Gilmore 2 was in the works. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'And that was OK — it was like Virginia Venit, it's been 30 years, (Happy's) got a hottie. He's got some little bitty on the side, like a cart girl,' she said, imaging aloud where Sandler's character would be after all this time. 'As a matter of fact my children told me, before I was even told officially that there was a Happy Gilmore sequel, my now 18-year-old said, 'Mom, I hear they're doing a sequel and he's with Sydney Sweeney as a cart girl.'' Bowen told THR she would have been happy to see Sweeney land a part in the movie ('Of course, why wouldn't you?'), but was shocked that she was welcomed back. 'When I got the call that I was actually in it, I was like, 'Are you sure? Come on.'' In addition to some of its returning cast, Happy Gilmore 2 features newcomers, including Paige Spiranac, Bad Bunny, Margaret Qualley, Benny Safdie, Travis Kelce, Kym Whitley and Eminem. Bowen revealed she lost her composure around Bad Bunny during his scenes. 'Seeing Bad Bunny on set I was just like, 'Oh, I can't actually look you in the eye, I'm going to have to walk away,' and I did. I think he was offended and I had to circle back and now I made it worse,' she joked. 'I'm the kind of person who doesn't want to meet her heroes because I think I'm just going to be a jackass.'

‘Frankenstein' Teaser, ‘Happy Gilmore 2' Full Trailer, ‘Stranger Things' Dates And More At Netflix's Tudum
At Netflix Tudum 2025: The Live Event, the streamer's talent came out to the Kia Forum in Los Angeles to showcase their shows and films. Projects from across the Netflix universe had a presence, with stars from movies and television shows doing interactive audience segments or presenting new materials from their upcoming drops. Sofia Carson hosted the event, and many came out to get a sneak peek, as there were some surprises in the room that weren't on the Netflix livestream of the show. Casts from Outer Banks, Forever, My Life with the Walter Boys, Ginny & Georgia and more were on hand to appear to fans, while folks from upcoming Netflix projects talked about what's to come and debut trailers and more. Here are the highlights: To open the event, the pink guards from the show took part in a dance performance, then stars Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Park Sung-hoon, Kang Ae-sim and Choi Seung-hyun came out to present the Season 3 trailer. The last season of the show drops on June 27 on Netfilx. Hanumankind came out during the Squid Game segment to perform 'The Game Don't Stop,' which is featured in Squid Game Season 2. Rian Johnson and several stars of his third Knives Out film, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. Stars Daniel Craig, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Runner, Kerry Washington, Cailee Spaeny and Daryl McCormack were there to present the sneak peek, with Glenn Close appearing via video message. Josh O'Connor, Andrew Scott and Thomas Haden Church also star. The film also revealed its Dec. 12 release date on Netflix. We still don't know too much about the plot of the film, which shares the name of a U2 song, but the sneak peek for the film did suggest that this one may perhaps have a more sinister tone than the previous movie, or maybe that's what they want us to think? Who knows! One Piece stars Iñaki Godoy, Mackenyu, Emily Rudd, Jacob Romero and Taz Skylar brought out an exclusive preview for Season 2 of the series, which premieres in 2026. The announcement also included the reveal of Tony Tony Chopper, and that Mikaela Hoover will be voicing the character. The preview for the season was only for those in the room for now, but the Chopper first look was released online: Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor and Catalina Sandino Moreno came out to drop the teaser for their new film, The Rip. The film logline reads, 'As a team of Miami cops whose trust begins to fray upon the discovery of millions in cash in a derelict stash house, everything is called into question, including who they can rely on.' The film drops Jan 16, 2026. The Rip teaser trailer has not dropped online yet, as it was only shown for those in the room. Director Guillermo del Toro and stars Oscar Isaac and Mia Goth were on hand to debut the teaser trailer for Frankenstein. Star Jacob Elordi could not be in attendance, but appeared via video message. Del Toro 'adapts Mary Shelley's classic tale of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist who brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.' The film also stars Felix Kammerer, David Bradley, Lars Mikkelsen, Christian Convery, with Charles Dance and Christoph Waltz. After its earlier teaser trailer debut, the full trailer for Happy Gilmore 2 debuted at Tudum. A Rich Eisen-moderated, short Q&A took place with Adam Sandler, Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald, with interactive segments with Lavell Crawford, Blake Clark, Kym Whitley and Jon Lovitz, Ethan Cutkosky, and Conor Sherry. The film drops on July 25 on Netflix. Stranger Things stars Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp and Caleb McLaughlin came out to talk about the show's legacy ahead of its fifth and final season. Millie Bobby Brown and Gaten Matarazzo also appeared via video messages. It was announced at Tudum that the season will drop in three parts– four episodes on November 26, three episodes on Christmas, and the series finale episode on New Year's Eve. Each part, designated as a 'volume,' will drop on Netflix during its premiere date at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT. Check out the date announcement below: Shortly before Wednesday Season 2 guest star Lady Gaga took to the stage to perform a melody, the cast of the show, Jenna Ortega, Luis Guzmán, Joanna Lumley, Fred Armisen and Isaac Ordonez, presented the first six minutes of the new season, which drops in two parts. Part 1 is Aug. 6 and Part 2 is Sept 3. Gaga will join in Season 2 Part 2, playing Rosaline Rotwood, 'a legendary Nevermore teacher who crosses paths with Wednesday.'The post 'Frankenstein' Teaser, 'Happy Gilmore 2' Full Trailer, 'Stranger Things' Dates And More At Netflix's Tudum appeared first on Blavity.

MoreWhat Do We Know About Season 5 of 'Stranger Things'? The official synopsis for the season reads: "The fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished—his whereabouts and plans unknown. "Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will's disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. "The final battle is looming—and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they've faced before. To end this nightmare, they'll need everyone—the full party—standing together, one last time." Netflix released an announcement video for the final season, though it mostly contained footage from previous seasons. There were some clips of the cast in action for Season 5, including Joyce with an ax and Hopper holding Eleven while her nose bleeds.
