Todd Phillips has stepped down from directing the Hulk Hogan biopic starring Chris Hemsworth.
The project, which had fans buzzing with excitement, now finds itself in need of a new director. Phillips, known for his work on “Joker,” was initially set to helm the film but has since decided to part ways with the project. This unexpected change leaves many wondering who will take over and how it might affect the movie’s production timeline.
People often get excited about biopics because they bring larger-than-life stories to the big screen.
Chris Hemsworth remains attached to play the wrestling legend, and he’s been preparing for the role by bulking up and studying Hogan’s life. The film aims to cover Hogan’s rise in the wrestling world, capturing both his triumphs and controversies. With Phillips out, the search is on for someone who can bring this iconic story to life with the same vision and intensity.
Interestingly, sometimes directors leave projects for reasons that aren’t always clear. Could be creative differences or scheduling conflicts—who knows?
