Deadline is reporting that Dave Bautista has received an offer to join the upcoming Road House sequel, which will be directed by Guy Ritchie. However, while an offer is on the table, negotiations between Bautista and Amazon MGM Studios have yet to officially begin.
The sequel is being penned by Will Beall, with Jake Gyllenhaal set to reprise his role as Dalton, a former UFC fighter working as a bouncer at a roadhouse in the Florida Keys. The original film was a major success for Prime Video, drawing over 50 million viewers within its first two weekends and eventually reaching 80 million viewers globally in its first eight weeks — making it the most-watched original film in Amazon’s history at the time.
Production will be handled by Charles Roven and Alex Gartner of Atlas Entertainment, along with Gyllenhaal’s Nine Stories Productions. Josh McLaughlin and Ivan Atkinson will serve as executive producers.
