People – Chris Hemsworth has his work cut out for him as he prepares to step into the ring as Hulk Hogan in an upcoming biopic.
The Thor actor is set to star as the famous WWE wrestler in a biopic announced early last year, from Joker director Todd Phillips. The Hollywood Reporter reported at the time that Hemsworth will play Hogan throughout his career and the movie will be “an origin story of the Hulkster and Hulkamania.”
In a new interview with Total Film, via Comic Book, Hemsworth, 36, teased all he’ll have to do to become Hogan, 66.
“This movie is going to be a really fun project,” he said. “As you can imagine, the preparation for the role will be insanely physical. I will have to put on more size than I ever have before, even more than I put on for Thor. There is the accent as well as the physicality and the attitude.”
Besides that, Hemsworth has been tight lipped on any details about the film — because he doesn’t know them.
“I know it’s being written now and worked on. I know very little about that. It’s sort of in the process now,” Hemsworth recently told ScreenRant while promoting his new Netflix movie Extraction.
