The highly anticipated sequel, Road House 2, is set to star an impressive cast of professional fighters, including Michael Chandler, Dustin Poirier, and Michael 'Venom' Page, alongside Jake Gyllenhaal. The original 2024 remake, which featured Conor McGregor as a key villain, achieved remarkable success on Prime Video. However, McGregor is not expected to return for the sequel, as he prepares for his own potential comeback in the octagon. The sequel's cast also includes former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, GLORY heavyweight kickboxing champion Rico Verhoeven, and UFC veteran Jay Hieron, who reprises his role from the original film. The film's scope is expansive, with filming taking place in the UK, Malta, and Savannah, Georgia. Interestingly, several cast members have prior acting experience, such as Woodley and Verhoeven, who have appeared in notable films and TV series. The question remains whether any of these active fighters will be sidelined for the production of Road House 2, as Chandler, Page, and Thompson continue their competitive careers in the UFC. The film is based on the 1989 Patrick Swayze classic, where Gyllenhaal portrays an ex-UFC fighter turned bouncer, entangled in a land dispute with a local crime boss.
