Hulk Hogan Sheds Light on New Moive Project, Says Chris Hemsworth Should Play Him on Screen
Hulk Hogan is involved in a project that would make a movie about the famous wrestler's life. And he thinks he knows just the man for the part.
The iconic WWE wrestler told Toronto's Cape Breton Post that he thinks Avengers star Chris Hemsworth, 30, is the man that could play him in a movie.
"I think we need a serious, serious actor that knows what he's doing. You know who I thought would be good? That guy that did that action movie Thor," Hogan, 60, revealed to the Cape Brenton Post.

He insists that the movie is still a long way off and quickly shot down rumors that the movie is already underway.
"What happened was, I was going through LaGuardia Airport...and this guy asked me a bunch of dumb questions for TMZ, and he goes, 'Eh, when are they going to do a bio about your life?' And I said, 'It's already in development.' So now everybody's rambling like it's a feature film already," Hogan added.
"The truth is...two kids that are writers in L.A., hot young writers, they did a four-page treatment, and I'm telling you they nailed it -- they nailed it like they were living in my shoes -- and I gave them the green light to go ahead and write the first pass," he detailed. "But that's all it is."
Hogan added the writers were able to capture an intimate glimpse of the wrestler's career including his triumphs and defeats.
"They've got wrestling in their blood, [and] they were huge Hulk Hogan fans," the WWE Hall of Famer said. "They followed not only the smoke and mirrors that you see on TV, but they followed personally what I was going through: the divorce [from wife Linda in 2009] the car accident, all the drama, the eight back surgeries, the hip replacements, the knee replacements."
