Dream Casting Netflix's Hulk Hogan Movie

12. Vince McMahon - Bradley Cooper

Bradley Cooper has actually been attached to a Vince McMahon biopic for some time, in the shape of Pandemonium, but that project appears to have gone rather cold recently. Interestingly, the last major update we got on that front was the revelation of the character breakdowns from ThatHashtagShow and there was a fair bit of crossover there between that cast and the major players in the Hulkamania story.

Could this actually be one and the same project?

Anyway, Cooper certainly has it in him to carry McMahon's charisma and darker edge. He's a gifted actor capable of playing both ends of the spectrum in that respect and this project needs a portrait of Vince that is sympathetic but also nuanced. It's not like a pantomime caricature would fly.
