The trend of remakes in the film industry is set to give birth to another highly anticipated sequel – Road House 2, starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Immediately after the release of the MCU star’s first Road House installment in March 2024, official confirmation about the sequel flooded the internet, where the actor is set to reprise his role as bouncer Elwood Dalton.
However, while updates from Jake Gyllenhaal hinted at going against the premise of the original movie, he also promised to make the sequel more expansive. After Road House (2024) broke viewing records on Prime Video, which greenlit the sequel, Gyllenhaal recently expressed a potential plan to join hands with one of Taylor Swift’s collaborators to make the sequel even more epic.
Jake Gyllenhaal Shared Updates About His Road House Sequel
Following the epic success of his 2024 remake of Patrick Swayze’s 1989 action movie Road House, Jake Gyllenhaal confirmed to return with his Road House sequel, while reprising his role as bouncer Elwood Dalton. After his collaboration with Doug Liman shattered viewership records of Prime Video, Gyllenhaal spoke with TVLine informing fans what to expect from Road House 2.
Ever since the sequel to Jake Gyllenhaal’s remake was greenlit, there has been a surge in anticipation and expectation surrounding Road House 2. Although no plot details have been revealed yet, the MCU actor offered a small tease of what’s to come in the potential sequel. Confirming that his upcoming installment is set to be more expansive, Gyllenhaal implied going against the original movie’s premise.
Exactly how Road House 2 will go bigger is unknown, as it could see more than one bar, more deadly bouncers, or Dalton not staying in just one place.
While the original 1989 movie strictly adhered to one town and one bar premise, which was later respected by Jake Gyllenhaal’s 2024 remake, it sounds like the actor’s upcoming sequel will be deliberately moving ahead of this confinement. Meanwhile, without sharing any further details about the film, Gyllenhaal simply heightened fans’ excitement surrounding an “expansive” sequel.
Road House Sequel Might Join Hands with Taylor Swift’s Collaborator
Further, reflecting on the expansive aspect of his Road House sequel, during an interview with THR, Jake Gyllenhaal opened up about his desired collaboration with an icon in the upcoming movie. After Patrick Swayze‘s original movie was hailed as a cult classic, known for its thrilling action sequences and memorable characters, Gyllenhaal added further excitement to the story in his 2024 remake.
Now, with Jake Gyllenhaal poised to take on the lead once again in the potential sequel, fans are eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this adrenaline-fueled saga. To pump up the excitement some more, the actor teased his desire to join forces with one of Taylor Swift‘s collaborators, Post Malone, to tap into the endless possibilities of offering audiences with electrifying Road House 2 soundtrack.
[Gyllenhaal] is already starting to think about how to cast the Road House sequel. In the car on the way to this interview, he says he was listening to “Willie’s Roadhouse,” the Willie Nelson Sirius XM channel, when he thought, ‘Wait, Willie Nelson’s got to be in this. Willie Nelson’s got to do a song with Post Malone.’ THR reported.
With rumors swirling about Jake Gyllenhaal stepping into the lead role for his potential Road House sequel, his decision to collaborate with none other than Taylor Swift’s Fortnight collaborator Post Malone has sent shockwaves through Hollywood. While fans are already eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this adrenaline-fueled saga, adding Post Malone to the mix has sparked even more speculation about what’s to come.
Considering that Post Malone has repeatedly showcased his versatility and ability to transcend genres in the music industry, his association with Jake Gyllenhaal’s sequel could bring an epic soundtrack to the film, perfectly complementing the high-octane action and intense drama. But as of now, whatever awaits in the sequel, Gyllenhaal’s genius move could attract a whole new audience, further breaking the records set by the 2024 remake.
Road House is available on Prime Video.
