‘Occasionally what’s going to happen is an actor might get a little injured, and we might adjust scheduling around them a little bit,’ Pitt said.

‘We are in the process of just moving things around for actor availability,’ Pitt says, adding that the possibility of injuries in a film about MMA is always a possibility.

Filming took place last week in Atlantic City, with other locations scouted in Trenton and Camden, New Jersey.
