Netflix confirmed Tuesday that the Puerto Rican singer and rapper, born Benito Antonio Martaez Ocasio, will star in the upcoming film.

Happy Gilmore 2 is a sequel to the 1996 sports comedy starring Adam Sandler as Happy Gilmore, a failed hockey player-turned-golf superstar.

Sandler will return to star and co-wrote and produced the new movie. Christopher McDonald and Julie Bowen also reprise their roles of Shooter McGavin and Virginia Venit. NFL star Travis Kelce will have a cameo.

Netflix announced the sequel in May. Sandler shared Monday that Happy Gilmore 2 has started production.

"It ain't over. The way I see it... we've only just begun," he wrote on Instagram alongside a costume rack on set.

Happy Gilmore co-writer Tim Herlilhy co-wrote the sequel, with original director Dennis Dugan as an executive producer. Jack Giarraputo and Robert Simonds will return as producers. Kyle Newacheck directs.

Netflix has yet to announce a release date for Happy Gilmore 2.
