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

The 2024 Road House was initially directed by Doug Liman, known for films like The Bourne Identity, Edge of Tomorrow, and Swingers. However, Liman was critical of the film's streaming 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. 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." Despite Liman's concerns, Gyllenhaal noted that Amazon had been clear about the film's streaming intentions 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 and has yet to be released.

Details on Road House 2 are 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 remains busy, having recently directed multiple episodes of the newly launched Paramount+ series MobLand, starring Tom Hardy, and his next film, Fountain of Youth, is set to premiere on Apple TV+ later this month.
