Considering past misbegotten sequels to Adam Sandler movies like Grown Ups 2 and Murder Mystery 2, I am not quite sure why it took the star three long decades to fire up one for arguably his best comedy and most memorable character,

Adam Sandler shared a promising update on Grown Ups 3 during a recent interview. The first movie in the series, Grown Ups, came out in 2010, followed by Grown Ups 2 in 2013. Since then, there has been considerable speculation about a potential third movie in the franchise.

Sandler’s “Grown Ups” co-star Kevin James revealed that a third installment may be on the horizon. “I think you can keep hope alive,” James told The Direct. “I can say that. I would keep a lot of hope alive. And I think it’s happening—something’s happening. I can say that.”

Meet Adam Sandler's talented daughters Sadie (19) and Sunny (16), rising Hollywood stars appearing in Happy Gilmore 2. Latest news, movies, and family updates.

They're among the worst movies he's made, yet there's something timeless about the appeal of watching Sandler, Spade, Rock, and James issue weak insults.

Yes, Happy Gilmore's daughter in the 2025 sequel is also Sandler's actual daughter. Vienna Gilmore, who is an aspiring ballet dancer in the film, is played by Sunny Sandler, the real 16-year-old daughter of the actor and comedian.

Fans have been clamoring for a third Grown Ups movie for years now, and Adam Sandler is finally talking about the highly-anticipated Grown Ups 3.
