Would Adam Sandler do a sequel the waterboy? The actor himself is clearly open to the idea, perhaps in part only to reunite with his 1998 comedy co-stars. Directed by Frank Coraci and written by Sandler and Tim Herlihy, the waterboy plays Sandler as Bobby Boucher, a waterboy whose tackling talent has him recruited to a college soccer team to lead them to victory. The film also stars Kathy Bates as Helen Boucher, Bobby’s “Mama”, as well as Henry Winkler as Coach Klein and Fairuza Balk as Bobby’s love interest, Vicki Vallencourt.
the waterboy was a big hit at the box office and is considered by many Sandler fans to be one of his best comedies, but the film never got an actual sequel. Although it’s been about 24 years since the film was released, there remains a possibility for it The Waterboy 2 to blossom. Nothing official is in the works, but in a new interview for the Variety Awards Circuit PodcastSandler said he was open to doing the possible sequel with this saying when asked if he’d be ready.
“That would be great fun. I love mommy. I love Henry Winkler. I mean come on. He’ll always be Coach Klein to me. But I don’t know man, it’s funny. I don’t know what the ideas [would be].”
Sandler then explains how Happy Gilmore is another classic comedy of his that he would like to see a sequel. This ties in with previous comments Sandler had made about a potential Happy Gilmore sequel that the easily angry golfer could follow on a senior tour.
“I did go, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice to do Happy Gilmore’s senior tour, and hang out with all those guys and try to write a great script about Happy being an older man, and calm his mood and all? those things. But I never know. Maybe someday, something like that.”
Captain Insano is coming to AEW Television
It remains to be seen if Adam Sandler will ever reprise the role of Bobby Boucher, but fans will soon be able to see the return of another character from the film. In the film, Paul Wight portrayed Captain Insano, a professional wrestler and Bobby’s personal hero. Wight recently revealed that he has been given the rights to perform on television for All Elite Wrestling as the Captain Insano character, suggesting he will be reprising that role for televised wrestling matches. We can only imagine how excited Bobby would be to see it happen.
“Hell [Captain Insano] come back,” Wight told Wrestling Inc., suggesting that he wants to use Captain Insano to help him finish his career in the ring. “The Man Who Wrote the waterboy has approved. [AEW promoter] Tony Khan and I have secured the rights to Captain Insano. An outfit has already been made, the entire nine meters. We do a lot of preparatory work, and this will be my last hurrah, so to speak.”
