Jake Gyllenhaal Returns for ‘Road House’ Sequel

Jake Gyllenhaal is gearing up for another round of action in the upcoming sequel to the thrilling remake, “Road House,” announced by Amazon on Tuesday.

In this follow-up to the 1989 classic, Gyllenhaal reprises his role as Elwood Dalton, a former UFC fighter turned bouncer hired to maintain order in a rowdy roadhouse owned by Jessica Williams in the Florida Keys. The actor underwent a notable physical transformation for the part, engaging in intense brawls with Billy Magnussen’s rich businessman character and the menacing hitman, played by real-life UFC legend Conor McGregor.


The remake premiered to acclaim at the 2024 SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas, earning Gyllenhaal a standing ovation for his performance. Director Doug Liman has praised Gyllenhaal’s work in the film, calling it possibly his best to date.

Reflecting on the project, Gyllenhaal emphasized the collaborative nature of his friendship with Liman, stating that the film captures elements of their shared experiences and Liman’s sense of humor.
