The recent buzz surrounding Adam Sandler’s Billy Madison 2 has fans wondering if the movie is happening. People loved the goofy 27-year-old slacker, who goes back to school to prove to his wealthy dad that he deserves his inheritance. With rumors and posters surfacing suggesting a possible comeback of this iconic character played by Adam Sandler, audiences can’t wait to see if a new version will bring back the classic charm and fun vibe of the original Billy Madison.
Here’s everything you need to know whether the Billy Madison sequel is happening and if the posters circulating online are real.
Are the Billy Madison 2 poster and movie real?
No, the Billy Madison 2 poster is not real and the movie is not coming out anytime soon.
On Sunday, September 8, 2024, a poster on Facebook took the internet by storm. It features Adam Sandler displaying an eccentric expression and sporting a wild hairstyle. All dressed up in a blue blazer and a black and red tie, he can be seen sitting in a classroom surrounded by older children. This image seems to be created using artificial intelligence (AI), as indicated by the unfinished and bizarre animation of the faces in the background. Currently, there are no verified plans for the production of Billy Madison 2.
Another poster was also uploaded on Facebook recently, in which Adam Sandler is wearing a white cardigan over a red shirt, complemented by a striking red tie. This one too shows him in a classroom bustling with older kids, adding to the chaotic yet humorous vibe. The film is even tagged as a Netflix original, which led some fans to believe it was real. However, both the posters appear to be AI-generated.
Nearly 30 years after Sandler graced the big screen with Billy Madison, the possibility of a potential Billy Madison 2 is picking up. But, don’t get your hopes up just yet, it looks like a sequel isn’t on the horizon anytime soon.
Will Adam Sandler return for Billy Madison 2?
No, Adam Sandler will not be returning for Billy Madison 2 as the sequel does not seem to be happening.
Over the past ten years, various unreliable sources have circulated rumors about the development of Billy Madison 2, but none of these claims have turned out to be accurate.
During a conversation with Screen Rant in 2015, Adam Sandler shared his thoughts on the possibility of a sequel. He revealed that he hadn’t considered creating a follow-up film. But, he hinted that it could be enjoyable if a compelling idea were to arise.
“I don’t think about it, but those two [films] – I loved doing them. They’re big ideas. Going back to school was fun for Billy, and then Happy Gilmore playing golf – there’s something there. I don’t know. We’ll see. I doubt it, though.” (via The Direct)
However, there have been no concrete updates in a long time regarding Billy Madison sequel. But, Sandler’s another classic Happy Gilmore is getting a sequel. Happy Gilmore 2 has been greenlit and will be coming out soon. The casting for extras in the upcoming movie took place in late August, and he is set to be occupied with filming this sequel until the end of 2024.
In conclusion, while the possibility of Billy Madison 2 remains uncertain, fans can look forward to Sandler’s upcoming projects, including Happy Gilmore 2.
