Aaron Eckhart returns as Jake Rosser in Muzzle: City of Wolves, the follow-up to 2023’s crime thriller Muzzle. The film is set for US theatrical release on 14 November 2025 through RLJE Films. This new chapter looks to push further into both the action and the emotional toll that violence leaves behind.
John Stalberg Jr. is back directing (Bad Hombres, Crypto), with Eckhart once again playing Rosser, a former K-9 officer living with PTSD and trying to keep hold of his family life. His marriage is already under strain from the distance and the lingering effects of trauma. Things worsen when a masked criminal group, led by someone known only as Totec, resurfaces. Rosser is drawn back in alongside Argos, his loyal but equally worn-down K-9 partner. What follows takes them into a world of drug networks, corruption, and unresolved emotional damage that Rosser has spent years trying not to face.
Ahead of the release, CinemaChords sat down with Stalberg to talk about returning to Rosser’s story, the film’s closer look at his life beyond the job, and how this chapter is as interested in what violence does to a person as it is in the chase itself — and pushes that idea even further than before.
RLJE Films will release Muzzle: City of Wolves in theaters on November 14.
