Y'know, Hulk Hogan pretty much invented professional wrestling. Seriously, just go ask Hulk Hogan and he'll tell you everything. In fact, if you ask Hulk Hogan about Hulk Hogan he'll tell you anything you want to hear, and apparently he'd be great in everything. Did you know that Rocky III was, at least for a time, titled "Thunderlips"? Yeah, it's true. Okay, maybe not, but Hogan probably thinks it should have been. Anyway, the point is to take anything Hogan says about himself with a dose of those vitamins he's always preaching to the kids to take.
While attending the Body Power Expo and speaking to his loyal Hulkamaniacs, Hogan said he'll play the villain in The Expendables 4, assuming the film will happen. Hogan says he and Stallone have had conversations about it, saying he would play the "most evil man in the world". So he'll be starring as evil NWO version of Hulk Hogan? It's about time that guy got his own movie.
"We’re trying to figure out a way to maybe turn me into the most evil man in the world, so. You know, Stallone gave me my first break and he’s been a great friend for all these years. He's the exact same guy today that he was 30 years ago."
He's not kidding there, and Stallone has been a big fan of pro wrestling over the years. Plus, The Expendables movies have become a haven for ancient action stars looking for a paycheck, and anybody who has seen Hogan's awful cheerleading appearances for the WWE lately know he'll do whatever for a check.
The problem is that The Expendables 3, arguably the best of the franchise, was the weakest of them all at the box office. There have been various completely unconfirmed reports over the last few months that a fourth film was on the way, with names such as Jean-Claude Van Damme, Pierce Brosnan, and Bolo Yeung being floated. None of them have Hogan's 24-inch pythons, though.
