With the sudden news of Hulk Hogan's death, many are left wondering about the possibility of a movie based on the life of the controversial professional wrestler, reality television star, and litigant.

Hulk Hogan never got the biopic treatment while he was alive. The WWE legend, who died Thursday at age 71, was supposed to be played by Chris Hemsworth in a Netflix movie, but the project was scrapped entirely by the time Hogan passed away.

Legendary wrestler Hulk Hogan, who passed away recently, talked about his canceled biopic starring Chris Hemsworth and why it didn't work.

Speaking about the incident years later in the Got Sole podcast, Rodman explained how it came about.

A particular age group will feel it the most: "Big personalities that we grew up with are leaving and it sucks." This fan noted the similarities this week: "Ozzy and now Hulk, a sad week." A true fan: Hogan was well-connected with NASCAR.
