The highly anticipated sequel, Road House 2, is set to star an impressive cast of professional fighters, including Michael Chandler, Dustin Poirier, Michael 'Venom' Page, and Stephen 'Wonderboy' Thompson, alongside the previously announced Jake Gyllenhaal. The film's cast also includes former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley and GLORY heavyweight kickboxing champion Rico Verhoeven. Additionally, Jay Hieron, who played a fighter in the original, is returning for the sequel. The film's ensemble cast also features former WWE superstar Dave Bautista and Aldis Hodge. The original 2024 remake, starring Conor McGregor as Knox, was a hit on Prime Video, but McGregor is not expected to return for the sequel, as he prepares for his own UFC comeback. The sequel is set to film in various locations, including the UK, Malta, and Savannah, GA, and is expected to have a larger scope and scale than the original. Interestingly, some of the new cast members, like Verhoeven and Woodley, have prior acting experience, with Woodley appearing in Straight Outta Compton and the TV series Cobra Kai. The film's plot revolves around an ex-UFC fighter, played by Gyllenhaal, who becomes a bouncer at a Florida bar, facing off against a local crime boss. The question remains whether any of the active fighters will be sidelined for the film's production, as Chandler, Page, and Thompson are still competing in the UFC.
