The current UFC light heavyweight champion (up to 93kg), Alex Poatán, may be just a few steps away from extending the scares to opponents in the octagon to Hollywood. The Brazilian fighter is in negotiations with director Adam Wingard (You're Next e Godzilla vs. Kong) to play the villain in the new action thriller 'Onslaught'. The film is produced by 'A24', 'Lyrical Media' and 'Ryder Picture Company'.

The information was released by the portal The Hollywood Reporter this Thursday (24). If confirmed, Poatan should make his film debut alongside Adria Arjona (T e morbius), Puerto Rican actress and current girlfriend of Hawaiian star Jason Momoa (Conan e Aquaman). According to sources, Arjona will play a mother who must protect her children after encountering a threat that escaped from a secret military base.
Poatan is set to play a character called 'The Butcher'. Wingard's idea is to give the fighter an opportunity to showcase his skills, such as chokes and spinning kicks.
Many details of Onslaught are being held in an underground experimental facility, but sources describe the film as a horror thriller.
