Dave Bautista has joined the cast of Guy Ritchie’s “Road House 2,” which already had Jake Gyllenhaal returning as Dalton (via Nexus Point News). Will Beall wrote the script. A September shoot is being eyed on this one.
Bautista is set to take on the role of a former fighter, a character reportedly cut from the same cloth as Dalton. The upcoming sequel will also bring in a fresh lineup of characters, which strongly suggests that the majority of the original cast won’t be making a comeback.
“Road House” was a major hit for Amazon/MGM, attracting nearly 100 million viewers worldwide and becoming the streamer's most-watched film ever. Given his open disdain for the film’s lack of a theatrical release, director Doug Liman was replaced by Ritchie for the sequel.
