Hulk Hogan is one of the most recognizable names in the history of professional wrestling, and back in 2019 it was reported that Todd Phillips was set to direct a Hulk Hogan biopic starring Chris Hemsworth. However, since then little has been said about the film.
During a recent interview with Screen Rant, Chris Hemsworth was asked about the status of the film. The Thor star noted that he’s still open to working on a potential Hulk Hogan biopic, but also indicated that there hasn’t been much movement when it comes to the film’s development.
“To work with Todd Phillips, who we discussed making that film with, would be an honor and a fantastic opportunity. I can’t say it’s officially happening yet. If there was a green light, I’d get to work on it.
But it’s interesting. Dementus’ vocal quality was something I could invent and it would be surprising to people, but there wouldn’t be any judgment or comparison. It’s a tricky thing to play a real-life character. I’ve done it once before, and people immediately have the measuring stick out and the critiques and so on. It’d be nerve-wracking, but if there’s a great script and a story to tell, I’d love to jump into it. But there’s nothing official at this point.”
Stay tuned for more updates on the Hulk Hogan biopic as they become available.
