Casting the Hulk Hogan movie

10. Chris Evans as Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff

Chris Evans could pass for Mr. Wonderful.

While Hulk Hogan may have ultimately had more memorable rivals, Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff was a very important one for coming early in the Hulkamania run and being half of the heel team that challenged Hogan at the first WrestleMania.

All that, and there’s the fact that Orndorff looked like a legitimate rival for Hogan’s incomparable musculature with his own herculean physique (and had the chops in the ring to help give The Hulkster some good matches).

Chris Evans has already worked with Chris Hemsworth in the Avengers franchise, playing Captain America and Thor, respectively.

Moreover, Evans is among the small handful of A-listers who could match up well posing bare-chested alongside Hemsworth. Sure, it’s a longshot that Netflix can land two actors of this stature for a project like this, but while we’re assembling a dream cast at this point, why not go there?
