CHRIS Hemsworth claims that his new Hulk Hogan Netflix movie will show an “unseen side of the wrestling world.”
The mega Hollywood star is still waiting on the creative process to move forward since it was announced he would be playing the multi-time world champion last year.

In an interview with Screenrant, despite not receiving a script yet, the Aussie remains “fascinated” and “intrigued” by the world of pro wrestling that the movie aims to shed some light on.
He admitted, “Look, I haven’t read a script yet. I know it’s being written now and worked on. I know very little about that. It’s sort of in the process now.”
The director of Joker Todd Phillips has been attached to the biopic which is being scripted by another member of the award-winning film crew Scott Silver, John Pollono and producer Bradley Cooper.
The movie intends to explore Hogan’s rise to fame in the 1980s and reportedly will not delve into his more recent scandals and lawsuits.

In another recent interview, Chris, 36, revealed why he wanted to be part of the Hulk Hogan project.
He said: “I’m just fascinated by that world, and I think they’re pretty keen to show a side of the world that people haven’t seen before, I’m as intrigued as you are.”
Hulk Hogan, 66, is widely regarded as one of the greatest superstars professional wrestling has ever produced and was the face of an era that broke its way into the mainstream, paving the way for other huge pro wrestling stars such as The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin and John Cena.
Perhaps The Hulkster’s most famous wrestling moment came when he bodyslammed Andre The Giant and ended his long unbeaten run at WrestleMania 3 in 1987.

When is Extraction on Netflix and who’s in the cast with Chris Hemsworth?
While he waits to hear an update on the new film, Hemsworth has admitted he’s “failing miserably” when it comes to home-schooling his children.
The Extraction star – who is quarantining at home in Australia with wife Elsa Pataky and their family – said his kids much prefer to spend time on YouTube instead.
Speaking to Jimmy Kimmel over video chat, Chris said: “I’m trying, I’m failing miserably, it’s sort of four or five hours of negotiation and bribery and then maybe 20 minutes of actual work, if that.”
He also said he is struggling to understand his kids’ work: “Everything has changed since I was in school. I was talking to the teacher about it, the adding and subtracting and so on, it’s not quite as straightforward now.
