Earlier, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Chris Hemsworth will be essaying Hulk Hogan in a biopic. It will be directed by Todd Philips and written by Scott Silver, reuniting the two after their successful work on The Joker. John Pollono (Stronger) will co-write the script with Silver.

Netflix was the leading contender to grab the rights of the project. Academy Award winner behind Spotlight, Michael Sugar will bankroll the film via his Netflix-based Sugar23, along with Todd Phillips and Bradley Cooper, who will produce under their banner Joint Effort. Chris Hemsworth and Eric Bischoff will also produce the biopic.

The project will not try to encompass Hulk Hogan’s entire life, like his whole WWE career and controversial issues. Instead, it is said to focus on his rise and is described as an origin story of the Hulkamania and Hulkster. The deal reportedly took months to put together and includes rights, with Bollea acting as a consultant on the movie as well as an executive producer. Suger23’s Ashley Zalta will also serve as executive producer. Steve Desmond and Michael Sherman will co-produce the biopic which is currently in the early stage of development.
