It was announced earlier today that Chris Hemsworth, best known for playing Marvel Comics" adaptation of Thor in the Avengers and his own MCU films, has signed on to portray Hulk Hogan in an upcoming biopic that looks like it'll be airing on Netflix as a deal with the streaming service is all but closed at this point. Directing the film will be Todd Phillips and it'll be written by Scott Silver while producers will include Hemsworth himself, Bradley Cooper and Hogan's old friend Eric Bischoff. Hogan himself will be a consultant on the project and will be an executive producer. It's in the early stages so it probably won't be released until sometime next year at the earliest.

The reports state that it'll basically be about Hogan's rise to being the biggest star in the business, so there probably won't be much, if any, content regarding his time in WCW and it most definitely won't include anything over the past few years like the sex tape scandal and recordings of Hogan using racial slurs during phone conversations. So yeah, the film'll kinda be a bit of a puff piece but an expensive one as I don't imagine Hemsworth signing on for less than $10 million at a minimum.
