Hulk Hogan has led an absolutely incredible life. We've gone through just a few lesser-known details in his time, and that's only barely scratching the tip of the iceberg.

Not only is the Hulkster an icon in the pro wrestling world, but he's one of the most recognizable names in pop culture history. Due to that, it's no surprise that there's a movie in the works highlighting his life.

It was reported in early 2019 that we'd be getting a biopic about the WWE Hall of Famer in the near future. Not only that but Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth, will be portraying the legendary Superstar.

Not only that but it will be directed by Todd Phillips and written by Phillips and Scott Silver, the duo that brought us the incredible film The Joker last year. It's set to be a Netflix original, which Hemsworth and Eric Bischoff will also help produce.

No official word yet on when work will begin on the project, but for wrestling fans around the world, this is a can't miss.
