A Hulk Hogan biopic could still be on the table despite a previously scrapped project.
Speaking on Eric Bischoff‘s 83 Weeks podcast, Nick Hogan, son of the late WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, said there is “absolutely potential” for a film based on his father’s life, following renewed interest generated by recent streaming content.
The original project had been in development for Netflix before being cancelled. At the time, Todd Phillips was attached to direct, with Chris Hemsworth linked to play Hulk Hogan. Nick Hogan said he was a fan of the casting idea, pointing to Hemsworth’s look and physical presence as a strong fit for the role.
“When all that talk was happening with Chris Hemsworth, I thought that was cool because I’m a huge Chris Hemsworth fan, I love the Thor movies and all his projects. He’s an excellent actor. His phsyique and the way he looks, he would play a great Hulk Hogan. That would be really cool.”
He added that even if the project moved forward with a different actor, there is still significant value in telling Hogan’s story on screen.
“Even if it wasn’t him, or if it was a different project, I think there is a lot of meat on the bone for his story to be told in that way and I would really love to see that.”
Eric Bischoff Also Believes That A Hulk Hogan Biopic Could Still Be A Possibility
Former WCW President and WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff echoed that view on the podcast, noting he has spoken with screenwriter Scott Silver about the concept, suggesting the idea of a Hulk Hogan biopic remains a possibility.
