Should Another Wrestler Act As Hulk Hogan?

One of the big question marks that some fans had when Chris Hemsworth was named as the actor involved was whether or not it should have been a wrestler playing the role. Somebody either in the acting world such as John Cena or a different person from the industry.

The reason for that is simply because they understand the business better than those who are coming from outside, and with a project this big that knowledge could be important. However, putting in Hemsworth is likely not going to impact that, especially with a biopic.

There have been many amazing biopics throughout cinema history and typically the actors involved throw themselves into the role 110%. They like to learn as much about the person as possible before filming, and someone as talented as Hemsworth is no doubt going to do that.

Hemsworth not being a wrestler or having a background in the industry should not cause any problems to his ability to make this role believable and realistic. His commitment to making great movies and ensuring his parts are always memorable should be the main focus of fans and that is exactly what he will provide.

Looking Past Chris Hemsworth's Performance As THor

Another reason some people might not believe Hemsworth was the right person to play the role is due to how synonymous he is with the role of Thor in The Avengers. He has worked on a lot of different projects across his career, but he s best known for being the God of Thunder.

Sometimes when an actor players such an iconic role it can end up being a bit of a problem, mainly because people just associate them with that one spot. That is certainly something that could end up happening with Hemsworth as he is so notorious with this particular performance.

It can sometimes be tough to see him as something other than Thor, which could potentially detract from his role, especially because a biopic is so important to many people. Fans need to be able to see the actor as nothing other than the Hulkster, and that might not be the case with Hemsworth.

Chris Hemsworth Was The Right Call

Ultimately, Hemsworth is likely the perfect option to take on the role of Hulk for many reasons. While he is a big name and synonymous with a major role, that doesn't mean that he won't be able to make this role work for him.

He wouldn't have taken on this job if he didn't believe he could successfully portray Hogan, plus Hemsworth will be well aware of what a huge star the wrestling icon is. Because of that, if he can nail this performance it would no doubt bring huge plaudits his way and a lot of attention from wrestling fans who may not have been fans of his acting work before.

However, one of the main reasons he is the right call is simply down to his physique. This biopic is going to be set during Hogan's prime, therefore it was crucial that whoever ended up being cast was going to be physically imposing, which is exactly what Hemsworth is.

He is a huge man which has been clear from him playing Thor, and because of that, he will slot into this world perfectly, being able to look exactly like he is a wrestler is crucial for a biopic about one and that is one reason that makes him a great choice.

On top of that, Hemsworth can also bring a mixture of comedy and seriousness to the role, which is going to be crucial. The professional wrestling industry is always going to bring some comedy and fun, which is why humor is going to be expected, which Hemsworth is amazing at.

However, he is also a serious actor too and because of the ups and downs that Hogan's life has brought, he is the ideal actor to choose for the task. The fact he is also a major Hollywood name will attract plenty of viewers who know nothing about wrestling, which could also make this a good thing for the industry in general.
