Actor Chris Hemsworth is all set to portray wrestling legend Hulk Hogan in a biographical drama for Netflix. The film will be directed by Hangover maker Todd Phillips, who is currently shooting for Joaquin Phoenix-starrer DC project Joker.

The script will be written by 8 Mile scribe Scott Silver alongside John Pollono, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film is expected to look into Hogan's rise from the Florida wrestling circuit to becoming the face of the World Wrestling Federation in the 1980s where he squared off with villain Andre the Giant.
