- According to Hogan, the project was derailed after the wrestling legend clashed with producers over the 'creative vision' - he wanted to play himself, but Netflix execs insisted on casting Hemsworth for a younger, sexier take.
- Hogan also revealed that the film's massive $200 million budget got slashed in half due to COVID-19 production delays, and the streamer ultimately pulled the plug, leaving Hemsworth and the Hulkster high and dry.
