Terry Gene Bollea, the legendary professional wrestler better known by his ring name Hulk Hogan, sadly passed away yesterday at the age of 71, reportedly due to a cardiac arrest. The iconic WWE superstar is widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time.

Hulk Hogan’s Biopic Announcement

Back in 2019, it was announced that Thor actor Chris Hemsworth had been cast to play the lead role in a Hulk Hogan biopic directed by Todd Phillips (director of The Hangover and Joker) and made for Netflix. If you are wondering whether the biopic is still happening, we have you covered.

According to an earlier report by The Hollywood Reporter, the Hulk Hogan biopic starring Chris Hemsworth would have reunited writer-director duo, Todd Phillips and Scott Silver, who collaborated in the 2019 billion-dollar blockbuster Joker. The Netflix biopic was expected to focus on the rise of the wrestling legend and would have served as the origin story, rather than the entire life story of Hulk Hogan, who joined the project as a consultant and executive producer.
