Sylvester Stallone Stars in Cliffhanger 2 – Raccoon Mountain

Sylvester Stallone’s early ’90s classic Cliffhanger is finally getting the legacy sequel it always deserved, and there are already a ton of exciting updates about Cliffhanger 2. Released in 1993 and directed by Renny Harlin, the film stars Stallone as an expert climber who is, unbeknownst to him, hired to help rescue a band of violent criminals after their loot is accidentally lost in the Rocky Mountains. Praised for its simple but effective thrills, Cliffhanger was something of a departure for Stallone, who was still very much in his blockbuster era in the early 1990s.

The movie was a smash hit and earned decent reviews from critics on the way to grossing an impressive $250 million at the box office (via Box Office Mojo). Despite being considered one of Sylvester Stallone’s best movies, a sequel never materialized and Cliffhanger seemed destined to become yet another standalone classic. However, it now seems as if a legacy sequel is finally arriving, and Stallone is prepared to step back into one of his most understated action roles over 30 years later.

Cliffhanger 2 Is Confirmed

Though another, female-driven, cliffhanger reboot was in the works around 2019, Cliffhanger 2 was officially announced back in 2023, which has seemingly canceled the previous idea. Likely spurred by the success of other legacy sequels like Creed and Top Gun: Maverick, the long-awaited follow-up was announced with Greenland director Ric Roman attached to helm the project. In an even more exciting twist, it was also revealed that Sylvester Stallone will return to reprise his role as Gabe Walker. No timeline has been provided, but the Hollywood strikes of 2023 likely put a damper on updates.

The WGA strike began in May 2023 and was resolved in September 2023, while the SAG-AFTRA strike began in July 2023 and was resolved in November 2023.

Cliffhanger 2 Cast

So far, the only name attached to the cast of Cliffhanger 2 is Sylvester Stallone who will be returning to the role of Gabe Walker for the first time in over 30 years. Though no one else has been announced, the other major character yet to be cast is Walker’s daughter, who will play a large role in the sequel’s story. It is unclear if a major villain will appear in the story. Since John Lithgow’s Qualen fell to his death in the original, a new baddie will be necessary,

As for other returning cast members, it is unclear if Michael Rooker will reprise his role as Gabe’s best friend Hal, or if Janine Turner will reprise her role as Jessie Deighan. Gabe and Jessie end up together at the end of the first film, and with Gabe being a father in the sequel, it’s likely the two had the 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 together. More cast details will be revealed as the film’s pre-production process continues.

Cliffhanger 2 Story

Cliffhanger 2 director Ric Roman described the new sequel and gave a few small hints about what the film will be about. Roman mentioned that the film will take place in the Swiss Alps, and he described it as “the next evolution of Cliffhanger with Stallone“. Without revealing too much about the story, Roman stressed that, like Top Gun: Maverick, Cliffhanger 2 is about the evolution of Stallone’s Walker.

As for plot specifics, the movie will seemingly see Walker return to mountaineering, and it will involve his daughter, also a mountaineer, getting involved in something big in the Swiss Alps. Considering Roman’s comments, Walker will still be the focus, but the movie could see him team up with his daughter, or see him attempt to rescue her from some new foe in Cliffhanger 2.
