Fitness guru Jono Castano Acero ? who has worked with other celebrities ? spoke with Daily Mail Australia on the state of mind Hemsworth will need to successfully make the transformation.

"With any transformation, diet, exercise and your mental state all play a big role in the outcome," Acero explained. "Chris has always looked amazing in all his roles, so I am confident he can achieve this physique.

"One of the most important aspects I get my clients to think about is why they want to make the change ? whether it's health reasons or a big movie role ? they are both driving forces behind wanting to make the change. Your mental state needs to be a positive one."

Todd Phillips of The Joker is going to direct while Hogan and Eric Bischoff are executive producers on the film. Netflix has the exclusive rights.
