Chris Hemsworth still wants to tell Hulk Hogan's story, but he doesn't know what's happening with the biopic at the moment.
Hemsworth was cast as Hulk Hogan for an upcoming biopic in February 2019. Details have been scarce, but the movie is reportedly set to focus on the origin of Hulkamania. WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff was named as a producer, while Todd Phillips, Scott Silver, and John Pollono are reportedly attached to the film as the co-writers.
Speaking with Chris Van Vliet, Hemsworth responded when Van Vliet noted that he hoped the Extraction 2 star would still be Hulk Hogan at some point.
“Let’s hope. I don’t know what’s happening with it at the moment, but there’s a good story there. I’d love to tell it. I know Todd Phillips has been deep in the world of The Joker, but we’ve had conversations, and yeah, fingers crossed," Hemsworth said.
Hemsworth previously noted that the film was a while away, as it was still in development. Check out his comments here.
In 2019, The Hollywood Reporter reported that "deals for the Hogan project are in the midst of closing with Netflix."
Another wrestling movie, which centers on the Von Erich family, is on the horizon. Kevin Von Erich recently shared his thoughts on the film. Check out his comments here.
