Why Netflix Canceled Chris Hemsworth's Hulk Hogan Movie


Hulk Hogan's legacy is both problematic and impossible to ignore, with a controversial past that includes a racist scandal and a fall from grace in the public eye.
A biopic about Hulk Hogan, with Chris Hemsworth set to star as the wrestler, was in development but was ultimately scrapped by Netflix due to unspecified reasons.
The untitled biopic was supposed to focus on Hogan's rise to fame in the 1980s and explore the unseen aspects of pro wrestling.
Hemsworth, known for his role as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was set to take on the physically demanding role of Hogan in the biopic.
Hogan claimed that the project was canceled due to a "business glitch" related to contracts, while Netflix cited delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and SAG-AFTRA strikes as the official reasons for the cancellation.
