Casting the Hulk Hogan movie

6. Chris Pratt as Hacksaw Jim Duggan

Chris Pratt, particularly at his goofiest, could play Jim Duggan well.

Hacksaw Jim Duggan isn’t necessarily an integral player in the Hulk Hogan story, and so it’s far from a foregone conclusion Netflix would cast an A-lister in that role, or even bother to cast it at all.

Nonetheless, he was an iconic star from the original Hulkamania run in particular, and we will in all likelihood see a number of guys like him represented in the film. Duggan is particularly worth considering as some pundits have suggested he may have been up for the face of WWE role had Hogan not signed with WWE (a point that has never been confirmed, and is up for debate to be sure).

When it comes to casting Hacksaw, Chris Pratt would be an ideal fit. He’s got the big body and a passing resemblance to Duggan. More so, Pratt’s work on Parks and Recreation, in particular, revealed his ability and willingness to play the shameless goofball, which with some slight tweaks could fit very nicely in playing Duggan.
