MJF’s AEW Return Currently Uncertain Following Completion of Happy Gilmore 2 Filming

MJF is taking Hollywood by storm! The AEW World Champion is expanding his horizons outside the wrestling ring and onto the big screen with a major role in “Happy Gilmore 2”, the highly anticipated sequel to the 1996 comedy classic.

According to earlier reports, MJF will play one of Happy Gilmore’s sons in the film, alongside returning stars Adam Sandler, Julie Bowen, and Christopher McDonald. This casting choice signals a huge step forward in MJF’s acting career, following his previous role in the wrestling biopic “The Iron Claw” and upcoming projects like “The Floaters” and “Stranglehold.” The movie is set to stream on Netflix, and fans can expect a mix of classic Sandler humor with MJF’s undeniable charisma.

Sources from Fightful Select revealed that MJF was filming throughout September and wrapped up production in the last week of the month. Although MJF is expected to return to AEW TV soon, no specific date has been pinned down just yet. He has been absent from the ring since AEW All Out, where he defended his title against Daniel Garcia but suffered a brutal post-match attack, leaving him out with a piledriver injury. His return to AEW is highly anticipated, but in the meantime, fans can catch him flexing his acting chops in this exciting new film role.

MJF’s Hollywood journey doesn’t end with “Happy Gilmore 2.” He’s also landed another film role alongside Justin Long and Ron Perlman. While details about this project remain scarce, it’s clear that MJF’s entertainment career is gaining serious momentum. Represented by Activist Artists Management and CAA, MJF’s success in both wrestling and acting shows no signs of slowing down.

So, what does this mean for MJF’s wrestling future? With multiple film projects on the horizon and his AEW return still unconfirmed, could MJF be transitioning to a full-time Hollywood career? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure—MJF is proving he’s more than just a wrestling star.
