He is about to play the wrestling icon, Hulk Hogan in a biopic and fans are divided over the news.
But here’s some good news for Marvel fans- the new biopic is believed to still have some kind of a superhero influence. John Polliono will be co-writing the screenplay, which is said to still be in its ‘early stages’.
Some fans are actually thrilled about the news and can’t wait to see how Chris is going to nail it in the ring.
If you would have told me 15 years ago that Kim, the gym guy in Home and Away would end up playing not just Thor but also Hulk Hogan, then BROTHER, I would have said you’ve been taking the wrong kinda vitamins! Chris Hemsworth you legend! 👏

in this role. He's got the acting chops and the physique. And with Todd Phillips taking on more serious subject matters, this has potential to be a biopic classic

We wish Chris the very best! Now he has a list of movies to complete, including the Men In Black: International film and of course, Avengers: Endgame. That’s a tight schedule!
