According to The Hollywood Reporter, the excitement is building as the film gears up to hit the streaming service.
Returning to the Green
Subway’s Comedic Grace
In the original Happy Gilmore film, the beloved character, played by Sandler, famously launched a Subway sandwich into the mouth of an unsuspecting fan. The laughter and buzz from that iconic scene set the stage perfectly for Subway’s return. But this time, it’s ‘Shooter McGavin,’ portrayed charmingly by Christopher McDonald, who takes the lead. McGavin becomes the face of Subway’s brand spinoff, rolling out fun commercials, social videos, and more, complete with limited-edition collectibles.
The Power of Partnerships
U.S. Bank and Callaway’s Winning Drive
Netflix’s sequel isn’t just about comedy—it’s about smart alliances. U.S. Bank and golf heavyweight Callaway are joining forces in an innovative push to appeal to fans and casual viewers alike. U.S. Bank is setting the scene by sponsoring the fictional golf tournament within the movie. Expect to see ads featuring stars like the legendary Verne Lundquist, alongside PGA pro Collin Morikawa.
Callaway ups the ante with exclusive film-inspired gear, sure to be a hit on the golf course and in the memorabilia market.
