He may have reportedly pulled out of xXx: The Return of Zander but Conor McGregor has already had an impact on Hollywood.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice comes out this Friday and is one of the most anticipated superhero movies in some time. Ben Affleck, who plays Batman in the film, has claimed that the fight scenes in the movie are a bit different to what audiences may be used to but revealed that the striking style of his character was motivated by none other than 'The Notorious.' UFC 196: McGregor v Diaz "He's a little bit more of a brawler. You kind of get a feeling like physical, visceral slugger thing," Affleck told Reuters. "The fights are more like smash-mouth, kind of UFC-influenced, like Conor McGregor style." Nice and flowy, then, we presume.
