Hulk Hogan Has Thoughts About Chris Hemsworth Playing Him
International star Hulk Hogan is one of the most notorious wrestlers of all time. The WWE star is known for his unique look, which includes a handlebar mustache and an icy blond mullet. Aside from winning 12 world titles across the WWE and WCW (via Inside the Ropes), the world heavyweight champion is known for helping bring wrestling to the mainstream. The star made many appearances on talk shows, starred in his own reality series (via IMDb), and sparked Hulkamania around the world.
Inspired by his unique rise to stardom and his vastly interesting life, Netflix will release a biopic that will focus on his origin story and Hulkamania (via The Hollywood Reporter). The film will be directed by Todd Phillips and penned by Scott Silver and John Pollono. Marvel star Chris Hemsworth signed on to play the Hulkster and has already begun gearing up for the physically intensive role. Hogan noticed Hemsworth's efforts and shared his thoughts on the man who will portray him on the big screen (via People).
