Get ready for an action-packed sequel that will knock your socks off! 'Road House 2' is gearing up to be a bone-crunching extravaganza, and the cast just got even more intense. Amazon MGM Studios has announced a slew of new additions to the highly anticipated follow-up to the classic action film.
The production has recruited six professional fighters to join the already star-studded ensemble. Among them are the legendary Rico Verhoeven, a 13-time Glory heavyweight world champion, and the iconic 'King of Kickboxing.' But that's not all; Michael Chandler, a decorated MMA fighter with multiple Fight of the Year accolades, is also on board. And let's not forget the British sensation Michael 'Venom' Page, Dustin Poirier, Stephen Thompson, and the charismatic Tyron Woodley, a five-time UFC Welterweight Champion with a knack for showmanship.
But here's where it gets even more exciting: the cast is a mix of seasoned actors and real-life fighting icons. Jake Gyllenhaal reprises his role as the bouncer with a past, Elwood Dalton, while former world champion mixed martial artist Jay Hieron returns as the hard-hitting UFC fighter Jax 'Jetway' Harris. And with filming locations ranging from the U.K. to Malta and Savannah, Georgia, the sequel promises stunning visuals.
Director Ilya Naishuller, known for his unique style in music videos and action films like 'Hardcore Henry' and 'Nobody,' is at the helm, ensuring this sequel will be a non-stop thrill ride. With an extended cast that includes Leila George, Aldis Hodge, and Dave Bautista, 'Road House 2' is shaping up to be a must-watch for action enthusiasts.
And this is the part most people miss: the film's plot is still shrouded in mystery. Will it be a straightforward action flick or a deep dive into the world of underground fighting? Only time will tell. But with such a talented cast and crew, expectations are high.
