A long, long time ago, Chris Hemsworth was going to play Hulk Hogan in a movie by director Todd Phillips. Many things have changed since then. Hulk Hogan’s recent stint of not-so-awesome behavior sure is something and Chris is off doing fun action things and being a fun guy. Todd Phillips is fully into the world of DC with Joker: Folie a Deux, among other things. So we aren’t very heartbroken about the news that Chris Hemsworth’s Hulk Hogan movie is not moving forward.
Phillips confirmed the news during a Comicbook.com interview, saying it was simply not coming together. That’s a fair answer because plans change and visions don’t often align. It was first announced five years ago and has been in lots of developmental hell since then, so it is not shocking that we won’t see Chris Hemsworth play the infamous wrestler in a movie. We will see if anything changes in the future.
