We hear that Dave Bautista has an offer to appear in Road House 2, but that’s it at this point. Talks for the Dune and Guardians of the Galaxy thespian joining the Amazon MGM Studios sequel haven’t even begun. Stay tuned.

Guy Ritchie is directing the follow-up, with Jake Gyllenhaal reprising his role as ex-UFC fighter Dalton off a script by Will Beall (Bad Boys: Ride or Die). Road House 2 is produced by Atlas Entertainment’s Charles Roven and Alex Gartner, Gyllenhaal’s Nine Stories Productions with Josh McLaughlin and Ivan Atkinson executive producing.

The 2024 Doug Liman 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.

Upcoming for Bautisa is The Trap House and Amazon MGM Studios’ Wrecking Crew opposite Jason Momoa. The pro wrestler-turned-actor also is lensing the Zellner brothers comedy Alpha Gang opposite Cate Blanchett.

Bautista played Drax in James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, a role he continued in the Russo brothers’ Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame movies. The latter two combined to gross nearly $5 billion at the global box office.

Reps for Bautista and Amazon MGM Studios did not comment.
