FIGHTING FIT The Hulk Hogan biopic, tipped to star Chris Hemsworth, is being developed by Joker helmer Todd Phillips (below).
T
he superhero worlds of DC and Marvel will collide in the unlikely setting of a wrestling ring when
Thor
actor Chris Hemsworth teams up with
Joker
co-writer and director Todd Phillips for a biopic of the WWF icon Hulk Hogan.
“This movie is going to be a really fun project,” Hemsworth tells Teasers during a recent video call from his home in Australia. “As you can imagine, the preparation for the role will be insanely physical. I will have to put on more size than I have ever put on before; even more than I put on for Thor. And then there is the accent, as well as the physicality and the attitude. I will also have to do a deep dive into the rabbit hole of the wrestling world, which I’m really looking forward to doing.”
