Guy Ritchie in Talks to Direct 'Road House' Sequel with Jake Gyllenhaal Returning

The sequel to the 2024 streaming hit may receive a theatrical release, reflecting Amazon/MGM's shifting distribution strategy.

Guy Ritchie is reportedly negotiating to direct the sequel to Amazon's successful 'Road House' remake, with Jake Gyllenhaal confirmed to reprise his role.
The 2024 remake, directed by Doug Liman, became Prime Video's most-watched film debut globally, with nearly 100 million views.
Doug Liman, who directed the first remake, criticized Amazon's streaming-only release strategy, which may have influenced the studio's pivot for the sequel.
The sequel is rumored to receive a theatrical release, signaling a potential shift in Amazon/MGM's content distribution approach.
Screenwriter Will Beall, known for action films like 'Bad Boys: Ride or Die,' will pen the screenplay, with Gyllenhaal describing the sequel as 'bigger' and 'expansive.'
