Chris Hemsworth will become the Hulk
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Chris Hemsworth has studied the Hulk so well that he is ready to turn into him. True, not in a green superhero from the pages of comics, but in Hulk Hogan, a wrestling star whose life will be captured in the biopic of the online service Netflix. If Hemsworth is not enough for someone in the ring, laying opponents on the shoulder blades, then the name of director Todd Phillips will definitely add points to the project.Hulk Hogan began his sports career in the ring back in the 70s. His popularity peaked in the next decade, when Hulkster became the hero of the World Wrestling Federation. The army of his fans grew by leaps and bounds, and while they, following the calls of their idol, trained, prayed and drank vitamins, Hogan managed to act in films - he appeared in the films "Rocky III", "Commando from the Suburbs" and comedy "Mister nanny." Years passed, and not a trace remained of the former glory of the Hulk. In 2015, he found himself at the center of a scandal related to an intimate video with his participation and racist statements. The trial in this case even led to the collapse of the Gawker portal. However, the Netflix project will focus on the days when the Hulk Hogan was at the zenith of fame, and will be a tape about the origins of the Hulkster and the origin of Halkamania. For those who are more interested in the modern stage of a wrestler's life, Hollywood is preparing several films at once about the already mentioned scandal.  Given Todd Phillips' experience in filming comedies, it can be assumed that Hogan's biopic will still not be a serious biographical drama, but a satirical look at the hero of the 80s. The director's latest project, however, stands out from a number of his previous works - Phillips is just finishing work on "Joker". Hemsworth, in turn, will appear this year in the fourth "Avengers", the new "Men in Black" and the action game "Dhaka".
