Former AEW World Champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman has been cast in a major upcoming movie sequel amid his absence from television.

Ever since his role as an executive producer on the Iron Claw, MJF has found himself being cast in more Hollywood movie roles, including a role in the upcoming comedy movie Floaters.

Today, Deadline reported that MJF has been cast in the upcoming sequel to Adam Sandler’s Happy Gilmore, set to release on Netflix.

MJF joins Sandler, Julie Brown and Christopher McDonald as the known cast, with Sandler also teasing a potential cameo from Travis Kelce.

Per Deadline:

Professional wrestler Maxwell Jacob Friedman, aka MJF, of AEW fame is the latest to join the cast in Netflix‘s Happy Gilmore 2, starring Adam Sandler.

Details as to his role is under wraps, as is the sequel’s plot. Others on board include Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald, who reprise their respective roles as Virginia Venit and Shooter McGavin, the love interest and pro golfer antagonist of Adam Sandler’s title character. Recently, Sandler has also teased that Travis Kelce is on board for a cameo, with production now underway and Bad Bunny has also joined the cast.

Since making his acting debut with the release of A24’s The Iron Claw THE IRON CLAW (a film on which he also served as Executive Producer) on Christmas Day 2023, MJF has stayed very busy. He recently wrapped production on the independent comedy The Floaters, starring alongside Seth Green and Aya Cash. He also went on to book and shoot Clark Duke’s sophomore feature film Stranglehold playing one-half of big bad duo alongside Ron Perlman, facing off against Jake Lacy, Ashley Benson, and Justin Long.
