Zack Snyder is getting in the Octagon.
The veteran Hollywood director is partnering with the UFC to direct Brawler, a movie that promises bone-breaking action scenes likely not seen before in Snyderverse superhero films. Brawler will portray a young fighter rising from the rough streets of Los Angeles to get a shot at a UFC championship but having to battle his inner demons as he fights for redemption, according to a logline from the film’s producers.
The Snyder project marks the mixed martial arts giant’s latest best on a big-screen, immersive experience after the UFC, led by CEO Dana White, took over the Sphere in Las Vegas in September 2024 with its 160,000-square-foot curved LED screen for its first-ever live sporting event. Snyder, his wife and producing partner, Deborah Snyder, and Wesley Coller will produce Brawler through their Stone Quarry banner, with Turki Alalshikh and UFC chief content officer Craig Borsari executive producing.
