Guy Ritchie is set to direct the sequel to Amazon MGM’s 2024 Road House remake, according to Variety. Jake Gyllenhaal will reprise his role as Elwood Dalton, the ex-UFC fighter turned bouncer. The sequel was confirmed in May of the previous year, following the successful release of the remake in March 2024, which garnered over 50 million views in its first two weekends on Prime Video. This made it the most-watched produced film debut for Amazon MGM Studios worldwide at that time.

The 2024 Road House was initially directed by Doug Liman, known for films like The Bourne Identity and Edge of Tomorrow. However, Liman expressed dissatisfaction with the film's streaming-only release, stating, “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.” He emphasized the lack of additional compensation for himself, Gyllenhaal, and producer Joel Silver despite the film's significant viewership. In contrast, Gyllenhaal mentioned that Amazon had been transparent about the film's streaming destination from the start.

Road House 2 will be the third collaboration between Ritchie and Gyllenhaal, following their work on the 2023 war film Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant for Amazon MGM and the upcoming action thriller In the Grey, which also stars Henry Cavill but has no set release date yet.

Details about Road House 2 remain limited, but the screenplay is being penned by Will Beall, known for his work on Gangster Squad, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, and Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F.

Guy Ritchie continues to be busy, having directed multiple episodes of the newly launched Paramount+ series MobLand, starring Tom Hardy. Additionally, his next film, Fountain of Youth, is scheduled to premiere on Apple TV+ later this month.
