In Flubber 2 (2025), Adam Sandler takes the lead in this quirky, comedic sequel that promises a nostalgic yet fresh take on the original classic. The teaser trailer opens with a shot of the disheveled and scatterbrained Professor Phillip Brainard (Adam Sandler), who has inherited the laboratory and legacy of the late Professor Ned Brainard. He’s now a reluctant genius tasked with caring for the mischievous, bouncing green substance known as Flubber.
The trailer quickly shifts into chaos, with Flubber wreaking havoc in Phillip’s lab—bouncing off walls, causing explosions, and even launching one of Sandler’s signature jokes as he attempts to wrangle it back into a container. Amidst the humor, it’s clear that this time, Flubber has evolved. It’s smarter, with a mind of its own, and begins to duplicate itself, creating even more havoc.
As the plot unfolds in the trailer, Professor Brainard is approached by a mysterious tech mogul, played by Steve Carell, who wants to harness Flubber’s energy to power his new line of flying cars. But things take a dark turn when Flubber begins to malfunction, multiplying uncontrollably and causing global chaos. There’s a scene showing New York City overwhelmed by bouncing, indestructible blobs of Flubber, bouncing through skyscrapers and across the streets in a hilarious, chaotic frenzy.
Brainard, along with his quirky assistant (played by Maya Rudolph), must figure out how to stop the outbreak of Flubber before it spreads worldwide. The trailer is filled with Sandler’s classic humor, slapstick comedy, and heartwarming moments as Brainard bonds with his eccentric invention.
As the teaser concludes, we see a glimpse of Brainard flying through the air, powered by Flubber-enhanced shoes, as he chases down rogue Flubber balls across the city. The teaser ends with Sandler delivering his punchline, “Who knew green goo could ruin your day?”
