But Conor McGregor has been confirmed in the remake, starring alongside the Hollywood star.
Amazon studios shared the news on Wednesday with McGregor sharing the post on his social media.
Also included in the cast are Billy Magnussen, Daniela Melchior, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Lukas Gage, Hannah Love Lanier, Travis Van Winkle, B.K. Cannon, Arturo Castro, Dominique Columbus, Beau Knapp and Bob Menery.
Doug Liman will direct to movie with the American director best known for Edge of Tomorrow and the Bourne trilogy.
The reboot will see Gyllenhaal take up the role as a UFC fighter who takes up a role as a bouncer in a roadhouse in Florida.
It is believed McGregor will play an original character in the movie and not a cameo role of himself.
