Conor McGregor Brags That He’s the Highest-Paid First-Time Action Star. Dwayne Johnson May Beg to Differ.

Quick Glance: Conor McGregor's Road House Remake Success Leads to Fast & Furious Franchise Speculation
- The success of the Road House remake indicates that Conor McGregor should be considered for a $7 billion action franchise. Despite initial doubts from viewers and critics, the remake of Road House is receiving positive feedback, demonstrating that remakes of cult classics can sometimes be highly successful. In addition to being recognized for certain changes in the story from the original, the film is also praised for its well-executed action sequences.
- Throughout his UFC career, Conor McGregor has amassed a substantial fortune. While his character Knox in Road House is portrayed as somewhat one-dimensional, McGregor brings sufficient intensity and energy to the role, positioning him as a formidable antagonist against Gyllenhaal's nearly invincible Dalton.
- Having proven his ability to portray convincing movie villains, the question arises whether Conor McGregor would fit well into the Fast & Furious franchise. If McGregor were to be cast in Fast & Furious 11, audiences could potentially witness an exciting confrontation between former UFC and WWE stars, offering a thrilling prospect.
- Conor McGregor would not be the initial UFC fighter to feature in the Fast & Furious franchise. Preceding him, UFC Hall of Famer Ronda Rousey appeared in Furious 7 as a bodyguard. With numerous former MMA fighters appearing in the Fast & Furious movies, McGregor's potential involvement post Road House could continue the trend and provide Fast & Furious 11 with a much-needed unique yet captivating villain.
