WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan was one of the most iconic names in pop culture in the 1980s, and the popularity of the Hulkster caught the attention of the people at Netflix.
Netflix had been working on a biopic on Hulk Hogan, with Chris Hemsworth set to portray the former WWE Champion.
Speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Hogan provided an update on the status of the biopic, and the ‘glitches’ the movie’s development has faced.
He said:
“It was a situation where business-wise, Netflix kind of missed the date as far as a business situation. I had a choice at that time to switch gears. Scott Silver wrote the script, he wrote the Joker and a bunch of other movies. Todd Phillips has done the Joker, Wolf Of Wall Street, all of the crazy stuff that he did. The script came back and it was amazing because my favorite movies are like Scarface, Godfather, True Romance — it was there.
“All of a sudden there was a business glitch and they tried to fix it a few days later, and I had already decided to move on. My life rights and stuff are somewhere else now and there’s a lot of things that are getting ready to happen. Hopefully, Todd Phillips and Chris Hemsworth will still want to play, there’s still a huge opportunity there.”
Hogan also discussed an alleged scrapped retirement match at WrestleMania, which you can see here.
