Chris Hemsworth has been attached to a Hulk Hogan biopic for five years now, but there’s been no movement on it since it was announced. In an interview with Screenrant, Hemsworth gave an update on the project and said he can’t officially say if it’s even happening.

He said: “To work with Todd Phillips, who we discussed making that film with, would be an honor and a fantastic opportunity. I can’t say it’s officially happening yet. If there was a green light, I’d get to work on it. But it’s interesting. Dementus’ vocal quality was something I could invent and it would be surprising to people, but there wouldn’t be any judgment or comparison. It’s a tricky thing to play a real-life character. I’ve done it once before, and people immediately have the measuring stick out and the critiques and so on. It’d be nerve-wracking, but if there’s a great script and a story to tell, I’d love to jump into it. But there’s nothing official at this point.
