Dream Casting Netflix's Hulk Hogan Movie
3. Gorilla Monsoon - Paul Heyman
In Bradley Cooper's Pandemonium, pro wrestling legend Gorilla Monsoon was supposed to be a key player in the story thanks to his role in helping Vince McMahon run WWE and training Hulk Hogan into being a star. That's precisely why he needs to play a key role in this film too.
Monsoon is all about delivery as well as industry knowledge and while seeking an actor to fit the role might be Netflix's first thought, they'd be better turning to Paul Heyman. Why waste time on getting someone up to speed and hoping they can perform when Heyman is already one of the most knowledgable men in wrestling, one of the last remaining star makers and the perfect match for Monsoon's duel role in the movie?
