Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasió — also known as the musical artist Bad Bunny — has found his next onscreen role, joining the cast of Adam Sandler‘s Happy Gilmore sequel.

Kyle Newacheck, who directed Sandler in the Netflix comedy Murder Mystery, is helming the Netflix sequel to the 1996 comedy about a wannabe professional hockey player who discovers his talent in the game of golf and begrudgingly goes on tour, only to become a sensation. Plot details for the sequel are being kept under wraps.

Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald are back for the sequel, having starred in the original film, respectively, as Virginia Venit, Sandler’s onscreen love interest, and Shooter McGavin, a jealous golf pro and the film’s villain.

Camerashave started rolling on the comedy, with Sandler posting on Instagram on Monday: “It ain’t over. The way I see it… we’ve only just begun.” 

Sandler and Tim Herlihy wrote the screenplay and will also produce with Jack Giarraputo and Robert Simonds. Dennis Dugan, who directed the original Happy Gilmore, will executive produce with Judit Maull, Kevin Grady, David Bausch and Barry Bernardi.

As for Bad Bunny, repped by UTA and Rimas Entertainment, the film will mark his latest foray into onscreen roles. He previously appeared opposite Brad Pitt in Sony’s action comedy Bullet Train and Gael García Bernal in the Amazon drama Cassandro. Coming up, he has Darren Aronofsky’s crime thriller Caught Stealing at Sony Pictures.

In a Vanity Fair cover story published last year, the music superstar said, “You could say that I have been investing a little bit more of myself in acting.”
