A sequel to this year’sRoad Houseremakeis now in the works at Amazon. The news ofRoad House 2comes as part of the studio and streamer’s upfront presentation to advertisers in New York, withVarietyconfirming thatJake Gyllenhaalwill return to reprise the lead role of former UFC fighter, Dalton.
“As we saw this spring the world went crazy for a little movie called ‘Road House,'” Salke said on stage at the Pier 36 venue in New York City. “Nearly 8 million viewers globally have watched Roadhouse. We like to watch this these results like a baby.”
At present, further details ofRoad House 2remain unknown, but we can no doubt expect Gyllenhaal to once again use his fists to keep the peace. The sequel could also build upon the mid-credits scene at the end of the first outing, which teases the possible return ofConor McGregor’s Knox. A sequel to the 1989 original,Road House 2, akaRoad House 2: Last Call, was released back in 2006, but don’t expect the Gyllenhaal-fronted follow-up to take much inspiration from that particular cinematic flop.
