Zack Snyder has partnered with UFC and Turki Alalshikh to create the film BRAWLER

Zack Snyder, known for directing “300” and “Zack Snyder’s Justice League,” is collaborating with the UFC and Turki Alalshikh, Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority Chairman, to produce “Brawler,” a film about a young fighter’s rise in the UFC while battling personal demons.

Turki Alalshikh, a key figure in Saudi Arabia’s entertainment sector, has been pushing for high-profile projects, including sponsoring the 2025 Drone Racing World Cup, and previously expressed interest in a UFC movie during a 2024 event in Saudi Arabia.

The film “Brawler” draws comparisons to the 2011 MMA movie “Warrior,” which depicted two brothers in a mixed martial arts tournament, but Snyder’s involvement suggests a visually intense, dramatic take on the UFC world.
