<p><a href="https://www.wrestlezone.com/tag/hulk-hogan">Hulk Hogan</a> has revealed why his biopic on Netflix starring Chris Hemsworth didn’t come together.</p>
<p>The project was announced in 2019,<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/feb/20/chris-hemsworth-hulk-hogan-biopic" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> with the <em>Thor </em>star attached to the project to play Hulk Hogan.</a> The biopic was written by Todd Phillips, fresh off his success with the first <em>Joker</em> movie. However, <a href="https://www.wrestlezone.com/news/1498443-director-todd-phillips-hulk-hogan-biopic-is-not-going-to-come-together-for-me" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Phillips admitted this year that the project was “not coming together” </a>and looked to be on the back burner. Details were scarce as to why, but Hulk Hogan has revealed the issues that arose with Netflix over the deal.</p>
<p>Hulk Hogan recently appeared on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IA-01pLPa3w">PBD podcast</a>. He spoke about the movie’s cancellation, revealing that Netflix missed a payment at the right time which caused an issue with the film getting made.</p>
<p>“They kind of missed a beat in the contract. Yeah [when Patrick Bet-David said Netflix screwed up]. There was a payment that wasn’t placed at the right time,” Hogan said (via <a href="https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/hulk-hogan-claims-payment-wasn-t-placed-right-time-regarding-biopic-starring-chris-hemsworth" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fightful</a>). “The script was amazing. Scott Silver, who wrote the script for ‘Joker’ ‘Wolf of Wall Street,’ a bunch of other movies, said, ‘This is the best thing I’ve ever written.’ When I read it, I’m like, oh my god, this is really good. At the time, I was in a space where I told him the positive stuff about wrestling.”</p>

<p>Hulk Hogan continued, speaking about the quality of the script for his biopic, mentioning how dark it was. However, the WWE Hall of Famer thinks Chris Hemsworth could have won an Oscar for the role, before the film was shelved.</p>
<p>“Spent about three years with this writer going back and forth. When I read it, it was just very, very dark, if that would be the right word, but it was probably what the public may want to see. When I read it, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, if this thing comes out,’ there was talk that Chris Hemsworth had never played a real person before and he could probably win an Oscar, this thing is so powerful. “</p>
<p>“I said, ‘That’s great, everybody’s gonna do really great,’ then I’m gonna be left here alone, and that might be the last thing people remember me for, so I just was moving forward at the time, and when they business-wise missed a date, there was an option for me to pull out, and I did. I pulled out. This has no check and balance system [like a documentary]. What it did do, it took me right up to the time I turned bad guy. Until I turned to Hollywood Hogan and went to WCW. So if this movie did blow through the roof like they expected it would, then there would be another one, which would be really cool.”</p>
