Amazon Studies published: "Fight icon Conor McGregor expands into film to join Jake Gyllenhaal for the reimaginings of the beloved classic Road House."
McGregor, 34 years old, has reposted the news that McGregor will be appearing in the remake of Patrick Swayze's hit.
The story follows James Dalton's journey as a bouncer who cleans up a bar that is notoriously rough.
Gyllenhaal plays the role in Gyllenhaal’s remake of the UFC fighter who is now a doorman.
According to a press release Gyllenhaal will play the role of the main character, who "takes a job at a rough-and–tumble roadhouse, Florida Keys, but soon realizes that not all is as it seems in this tropical paradise".
It is unknown what McGregor's role will be and if it will be as a fictional character or as McGregor himself.
The former UFC champion at two-weight is still getting ready for his return to the octagon.
McGregor sustained a terrible leg injury in his fight against Dustin Porier in July 2021.
He is close to a comeback fight, and despite his movie role, he still considers returning to the cage his top priority.
Spokesperson Karen J. Kessler stated that ESPN's Conor McGregor was very excited to join Jake Gyllenhaal for the reimaginings of "Road House," a beloved classic.
McGregor's new venture is a success, and he will continue to fight. He is eager to start filming."
