Chris Hemsworth will star as Hulk Hogan in an upcoming biopic about the world-famous wrestler.
According to THR, Hemsworth is set to play Hogan in the film, which will be directed by Todd Phillips, who's currently directing the upcoming Joker film with Joaquin Phoenix. Scott Silver, the co-writer of Joker, will pen the film.
The Netflix film will reportedly focus on Hogan's rise to fame and will be similar to an origin story. Per THR, the film will not focus on recent events in Hogan's life, including a high-profile lawsuit against Gawker, which had published a sex tape of Hogan.
Hogan started wrestling in the late '70s and gained worldwide fame during the 1980s. He landed at number three on IGN's list of the top wrestlers of all time given his massive mainstream success.
Hemsworth is best known for his role as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He will also be seen in the upcoming Men In Black: International, which will hit theaters in June.
Phillips directed all three Hangover films, and he will also serve as a producer on the upcoming Hogan biopic alongside Hangover star Bradley Cooper. Michael Sugar, who won an Oscar for producing 2015's Spotlight, will also serve as a producer on the film. No release date has been announced.
