Alex Pereira can add “movie star” to his ever-growing list of accomplishments.
The former UFC two-division champion stars as “The Butcher” in the upcoming movie Onslaught, directed by Adam Wingard (Godzilla vs. Kong), about a mother living in a trailer park who “uses her skills to protect her loved ones from a threat that escaped a secret military base, while mercenaries try to contain it.”
The IMDB plot description was described in one sentence and the trailer features said mother teaching her little
brat how to eat burritos, so that should tell you how deep this movie goes in terms of character development.
I doubt anyone cares.
Onslaught caters to action-oriented audiences that loves fight scenes, explosions, and shootouts. Looks like it delivers on that front. It also has Kyle Reese from The Terminator and Sgt. Al Powell from Die Hard so tip of the cap for those casting choices.
Pereira returns to fighting in the UFC White House co-main event later this month in Washington, DC.
