A planned biopic on Hulk Hogan is no longer in the works with the same director.
Film director Todd Phillips was the subject of a feature published by “Variety” on Tuesday. The feature mostly discussed Phillips’ plans for a sequel to “Joker.”
Buried towards the end of the feature was an update on the Hogan biopic that Phillips was planning to direct.
“I love what we were trying to do, but that’s not going to come together for me,” Phillips told Variety.
Actor Chris Hemsworth, who has famously played the Thor character in Marvel’s movies since 2011, was set to play the role of Hogan.
It’s unclear whether the film as a whole is dead, but it sounds like Phillips at the least will not be attached to the project.
What do you think of Hemsworth as the famous wrestler Hogan?

A planned biopic on Hulk Hogan is going through significant changes, starting with the departure of its director.
In a recent profile by “Variety,” film director Todd Phillips, primarily known for his work on “Joker,” revealed some updates that caught many by surprise. While most of the feature centered around Phillips’ plans for a sequel to “Joker,” a key piece of information about the Hulk Hogan biopic was tucked away towards the end.
Phillips was initially set to direct the biopic, but he disclosed that he would no longer be part of the project. “I love what we were trying to do, but that’s not going to come together for me,” he mentioned to Variety.
The film had planned to cast Chris Hemsworth, famous for his role as Thor in Marvel movies since 2011, as the iconic wrestler Hulk Hogan. Given Phillips’ departure, the future of the entire film now seems uncertain.
There has been no clear information on the overall status of the project, including whether Hemsworth will still portray Hogan or if the film will move forward under new direction. Phillips’ exit leaves many questions unanswered.
Fans of both Hemsworth and Hogan will have to wait and see how this biopic unfolds. Perhaps another director might take the helm and bring Hogan’s story to the big screen. Until then, the anticipation and speculation continue.
