The Hulk Hogan biopic from Joker director Todd Phillips and Chris Hemsworth is no longer happening.You can probably guess why…
“This movie is going to be a really fun project,” Hemsworth said of the Hulk Hogan biopic at the time. “As you can imagine, the preparation for the role will be insanely physical. I will have to put on more size than I ever have before, even more than I put on for Thor. There is the accent as well as the physicality and the attitude.”
The project hit a bump in the road last October when Hogan “It was a situation where business-wise, Netflix kind of missed the date, you know, as far as a business situation. And so I had the choice at that time to switch gears,” Hogan explained. “All of a sudden, there was a business glitch, you know, and then they tried to fix it a few days later. And I’d already decided to move on.”
“My life rights and stuff are somewhere else now,” he teased, adding, “Hopefully, Todd Phillips and Chris Hemsworth will still want to play. There’s still a huge opportunity there.”
Another Hulk Hogan-centric movie is currently in development. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s Artists Equity acquired the screenplay
