Gyllenhaal is confirmed to be reprising his role as Elwood Dalton, a former UFC fighter who in the first movie was recruited by Frankie (Jessica Williams) to be the head bouncer at the Florida Keys watering hole she owns, which is being terrorized by a real estate developer’s assorted minions

In announcing the movie sequel, Amazon noted that its first trip to the Road House attracted “nearly 80 million worldwide viewers to-date,” after drawing a record-breaking 50 million-plus worldwide viewers over its first two weekends to become Amazon MGM Studios’ most-watched produced film debut ever on a worldwide basis.
