We hear that that the Dune and Guardians of the Galaxy thespian has an offer, but that’s it at this point. Talks for Dave Bautista joining Amazon MGM Studios’ Road House 2 haven’t even begun. Stay tuned.
Guy Ritchie is directed the follow-up with Jake Gyllenhaal reprising his role as ex-UFC fighter Dalton.
The Doug Liman 2024 reboot of the 1980s cult title Road House world premiered at SXSW. In the movie, Dalton takes a job as a bouncer at a Florida Keys roadhouse, only to discover that this paradise is not all it seems. On Prime Video, Road House pulled in 50 million-plus viewers over its first two weekends. At the time, Amazon reported that as a record — beating the viewership of any original movie they’ve ever produced for the OTT service. That number eventually rose to 80M viewers worldwide in the movie’s first eight weeks on Prime Video.
Reps for Bautista and Amazon MGM Studios did not comment.
