Dave Bautista May Join Jake Gyllenhaal in Road House 2


Exciting news for fans: Jake Gyllenhaal is set to reprise his role in Road House 2, and there are strong indications that Dave Bautista might join the cast as well. While the formal discussions with the Guardians of the Galaxy star are yet to commence, an offer has indeed been made. The anticipation of seeing Gyllenhaal and Bautista potentially facing off is electrifying, especially if they portray adversaries in this highly anticipated sequel. The acclaimed director Guy Ritchie will helm the project for Amazon MGM Studios, with a screenplay crafted by Will Beall, known for his work on Bad Boys: Ride or Die.

The original Road House remake proved to be a phenomenal success for Prime Video, attracting an astonishing 50 million viewers worldwide within just two weeks of its release. Despite receiving mixed reviews, the overwhelming audience engagement made it a no-brainer for the studio to greenlight a sequel. Notably, Doug Liman, the director of the first film, will not be returning for this project, primarily due to his outspoken concerns regarding Amazon’s decision to bypass a theatrical release, which he felt was crucial for the film’s success.

In Liman’s own words regarding the situation, “My issue on Road House is that we made the movie for MGM to be in theaters, everyone was paid as if it was going to be in theaters, and then Amazon switched it on us and nobody got compensated,” Liman articulated. He further expressed his frustration by stating, “Forget about the effect on the industry — 50 million people saw Road House — I didn’t get a cent, Jake Gyllenhaal didn’t get a cent, [producer] Joel Silver didn’t get a cent. That’s wrong.

Looking ahead, Bautista has an exciting lineup of projects on his horizon, including Trap House, an engaging action thriller. In this film, an undercover DEA agent and his partner find themselves in a gripping game of cat and mouse against a bold group of thieves — their own rebellious teenagers. These teens, using their parents’ strategies and confidential intelligence, begin to rob from a perilous cartel. Additionally, Bautista is set to collaborate with Jason Momoa in The Wrecking Crew, another project slated for release by Amazon MGM Studios. This action-comedy features the duo as half-brothers; a reckless cop (played by Momoa) and a disciplined Navy SEAL (portrayed by Bautista), who join forces to uncover the conspiracy behind their father’s murder in the beautiful setting of Hawaii.
