Hulk Hogan’s Own Biopic Was Scrapped
Before the global pandemic hit, it was reported that Netflix was in the works to create a film on the early wrestling career of Hulk Hogan, and the title role of Terry Bollea was going to be played by Chris Hemsworth, greatly known for his role as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
However, in an October interview with Chris Van Vliet, Hogan gave an update, revealing the film had been canned.
“Yes, I do [have an update]. So it was a situation where business-wise, Netflix kind of like missed the date, you know, as far as a business situation. And so I had the choice at that time to switch gears. Scott Silver wrote the script, you know, he wrote The Joker and a bunch of different movies. And of course, Todd Phillips has done the Joker Wolf of Wall Street and you know, whatever. All the crazy stuff that he did.
But yeah, the script came back. It was amazing. I mean, because my favorite movies are like Scarface, The Godfather, True Romance, it was there, it was there. And I just thought, Whoa, but 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. So, my life rights and stuff are somewhere else now. And there are a lot of things that are getting ready to happen. And hopefully, Todd Phillips and Chris Hemsworth will still want to play. But there’s still a huge opportunity there.” (h/t TJR Wrestling)
