MJF Cast in Happy Gilmore 2

Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF), the former AEW World Champion, is making significant strides in Hollywood with a major role in the upcoming sequel to 'Happy Gilmore', where he plays Gordie, one of Happy's sons. Filming wrapped in late September, and the movie features original cast members Adam Sandler, Julie Bowen, and Christopher McDonald, alongside cameos from Travis Kelce and Bad Bunny. MJF's acting career is expanding with roles in 'The Floaters' and 'Stranglehold', signaling a potential transition away from wrestling. He has been absent from AEW since his title defense at AEW All Out due to a post-match injury inflicted by Daniel Garcia, although a return to the ring is anticipated soon without a set date. His involvement in multiple film projects raises questions about his future in wrestling, as he continues to gain momentum in entertainment. MJF is represented by Activist Artists Management and CAA, suggesting a promising future in both wrestling and acting.
