Will Hulk Hogan still get a posthumous biopic starring Chris Hemsworth?
Hulk Hogan never got the biopic treatment while he was alive. The WWE legend, who died Thursday at age 71, was supposed to be played by Chris Hemsworth in a Netflix movie, but the project was scrapped entirely by the time Hogan passed away. TMZ reported that the pro-wrestler died after 'a cardiac arrest' call was placed from his home in Clearwater, Florida. 11 Hulk Hogan at the Comedy Central Roast Of David Hasselhoff in 2010. Getty Images The biopic about Hogan was first announced by Netflix in February 2019, with Hemsworth, 41, to star and Todd Phillips set to direct. The Hollywood Reporter reported at the time that John Pollono and Scott Silver were writing the script. Silver, 60, and Phillips, 54, co-wrote Joaquin Phoenix's 'Joker,' which came out that same year. 11 Chris Hemsworth at the 'Limitless: Live Better Now' UK premiere in London on July 17.

Getty Images for BAFTA LA The biopic, per Deadline, was going to 'center on the rise of Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, and his 'Hulkamania' both in wrestling and as a pop culture icon.' The outlet also confirmed that Hogan's life rights were acquired in the deal and that he joined the project as a consultant and executive producer. However, years went by, and no progress was made on the film, due in part to the COVID-19 pandemic causing production delays in Hollywood in 2020. 11 Hulk Hogan on 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno' in 1994.

I don't know what is happening with it at this point,' the 'Thor' star stated. 'But there is a good story there I would love to tell.' 'I know Todd Phillips has been deep with The Joker and we have had conversations,' Hemsworth added. 'Fingers crossed.' 11 Chris Hemsworth in 'Thor: Love and Thunder.' ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection A year later, Phillips officially confirmed that the biopic was dead. 'I love what we were trying to do, but that's not going to come together for me,' the director told Variety in August 2024 while promoting 'Joker 2.' During an appearance on the 'PDB Podcast' in October 2024, Hogan explained why his biopic never came to fruition. 11 Hulk Hogan at the premiere of 'War Of The Worlds' in June 2005.

There was a payment that wasn't placed at the right time,' he claimed nine months before his death, adding that the film's script 'was amazing.' 'Scott Silver, who wrote the script for 'Joker,' 'Wolf of Wall Street,' a bunch of other movies, said, 'This is the best thing I've ever written,'' Hogan recalled. 'When I read it, I went, 'Oh my god, this is really good.'' The '3 Ninjas' star continued: 'At the time, I was in a space where I told him the positive stuff about wrestling and the negative stuff about wrestling. Spent about three years with this writer going back and forth. When I read it, it was just very, very dark, if that would be the right word. But it was probably what the public may want to see. When I read it I was like, 'Oh my gosh, if this thing comes out…'' 11 Hulk Hogan speaks onstage during the 2024 Republican National Convention.

But Hogan explained that he was worried the biopic would ultimately be 'the last thing people remember me for.' 'So I just was moving forward at the time, and when they business-wise missed a date, there was an option for me to pull out — and I did,' he revealed. 11 Hulk Hogan in the wrestling ring during his Hulkamania Tour in 2009. Getty Images The sports icon said at the time that he would still do the film with the same script, but acknowledged there's other avenues to share his life story. 'There's also documentary, a check and balance system, there's also a four-hour block of TV like the OJ [Simpson] stuff to tell the real story,' Hogan noted. 'The check and balance system, what it did do was it took me right up to the time I turned bad guy. Until I turned into 'Hollywood Hogan.' So if this movie did blow through the roof that they expected it would, then there would be another one which would be really cool.' 11 Hulk Hogan at Maple Leaf Gardens in Canada. Toronto Star via Getty Images Hogan also made it clear he wanted 'creative control' over his biopic and that the film needed to 'be a balance.' When the host asked Hogan if someone could make a film about him without his permission, the WWE legend replied, 'They can do it, but they could be in a really bad position legally if they don't have me involved.' 'There's so many hills and valleys when you do something without someone's permission,' he added. The Post reached out to Netflix and Hemsworth for comment.

When Chris Hemsworth Joined Ed Sheeran For Surprise Drum Jam In Romania
Last Updated: Limitless: Live Better Now, directed by Kit Lynch‑Robinson, focuses on Chris Hemsworth's pursuits in strengthening his mind and body through extreme measures. A Chris Hemsworth and Ed Sheeran collaboration was the last thing on fans' bingo cards in 2025. But the moment was as real as it could be. Hemsworth swapped his superhero cape (Thor) for a day to share the stage with the British musician and play drums in front of 70,000 people in Bucharest, Romania, last year. Although the performance, a part of Sheeran's +–=÷× Tour, was easy for the Shape of You singer, it was no ordinary task for the Hollywood star, who was doing it minus any prior experience. The revelation of the unexpected cameo came forward after the trailer of Chris Hemsworth's upcoming docuseries Limitless: Live Better Now was released on July 17. The series, directed by Kit Lynch‑Robinson, focuses on Hemsworth's pursuits in strengthening his mind and body through extreme measures. It offers a peek into how much time and effort Hemsworth spent to get comfortable behind the drum set. One particular scene captures Ed Sheeran walking in a field with Chris Hemsworth and urging the actor, 'You should learn the drums to play a song with me on my stadium tour." Soon, the clip cuts to another rehearsal footage of Hemsworth practising. He trains under the guidance of Ben Gordon, the coach of Australian metalcore band Parkway Drive. Despite Hemsworth admitting that he is 'struggling", he does not give up. Noting Chris Hemsworth's progress, Ed Sheeran tells him, 'I think this actually might be the most difficult thing you do." After a tough battle with mastering the rhythm and coordination, Hemsworth delivers the live performance, drawing loud cheers from the concert-goers. To celebrate his milestone, Sheeran presents the Extraction film star a humorous 'Participation Award for Drumming Excellence' trophy. Limitless, a three-part series, will find Chris Hemsworth undergoing Special Forces training in South Korea and ascending a 600-foot wall in the Swiss Alps. He also worked with cognitive scientists, doctors, and MMA fighters. The actor took these measures to challenge his mental resilience and improve brain health, focus and memory. 'The key to unlocking these benefits for all of us is finding the edge of our comfort zone," he explains in the trailer. Limitless will start streaming on Disney+ and Hulu from August 15.
