‘Road House 2’ Is Happening: Jake Gyllenhaal Fights Again, This Time with Guy Ritchie Yelling “ACTION!” in a British Accent

Buy Me A Coffee

Road House 2 is rolling in hotter than a pool cue across a biker’s face. And guess what? Jake “Abs for Days” Gyllenhaal is back to roundhouse kick his way into our hearts as Dalton, your favorite ex-UFC fighter turned bar security philosopher. But wait, it gets spicier…

Enter Guy Ritchie, aka the director who never met a slow-motion punch he didn’t like. According to THR (aka The Hollywood Reporter, but let’s be real, we’re all just pretending we know what that means), Guy’s signed on to direct this cinematic beefcake brawl fest. Yep, the same Guy who gave us Snatch, Sherlock Holmes, and that one film where Jason Statham glares a lot. This also marks a reunion between Jake and Guy, because apparently The Covenant (2023) was such a bromantic experience, they just had to do it again—only this time with more flying kicks and bar stools to the face.

Behind the scenes, Will Beall will be writing the script, which is great news if you like your action movies with explosive dialogue and characters who speak exclusively in one-liners. Will’s resume includes Bad Boys: Ride or Die, Aquaman, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, and Gangster Squad—basically, the cinematic equivalent of a protein shake mixed with gunpowder.

Jake’s not just starring, though—he’s producing too, because why stop at acting when you can also boss people around between takes? He’s teaming up with his producing bro Josh McLaughlin via their Nine Stories Productions. Also in the producer pit: Charles Roven and Alex Gartner from Atlas Entertainment, who probably have “produced explosions” listed on their résumés.

Oh, and in case you missed it (because you were too busy rewatching Donnie Darko and wondering what it all means), Jake talked about the sequel last summer. Spoiler alert: He’s pumped. Muscles and enthusiasm both confirmed.

And if you’re wondering where Jake is right now, he’s currently on Broadway doing the whole “serious actor” thing in Othello, starring alongside Denzel “I Could Act My Way Out of a Paper Bag” Washington. So basically, he’s going from Shakespearean tragedy to barroom chaos. Versatility, baby.

Road House 2 is shaping up to be a gloriously ridiculous testosterone smoothie, and honestly? We’re so here for it.
