Road House sequel in the works with Jake Gyllenhaal returning to play Elwood Dalton

A sequel to Amazon MGM Studios' recent hit actioner Road House is in development, with lead star Jake Gyllenhaal set to reprise his role as ex-UFC fighter Dalton. Other details regarding the rest of the cast and the plot are yet to be revealed.

During the studio’s inaugural upfronts presentation, the sequel plans were unveiled following the first film earning nearly 80 million worldwide viewers after debuting March 21 on Prime Video. This made Amazon MGM Studios’ most-watched produced film debut ever on a worldwide basis.

With the script by Anthony Bagarozzi and Charles Mondry, Road House was green-lit in August 2022 and revolves around a former UFC middleweight fighter who works at a rowdy bar.

The film, which was a remake of the 1989 action classic starring Patrick Swayze, also stars Jessica Williams, Billy Magnussen, Daniela Melchior, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Lukas Gage, and Hannah Love Lanier, among others. Champion boxer Conor McGregor made an appearance in the film, marking his debut film role.
