Hulk Hogan tells TMZ … a movie about his shirt-ripping, leg-dropping, arm-flexing life is officially in the works — and he’s already got someone in mind to play the lead role.

We sorta stumbled into the movie bombshell … after jokingly asking Hulk who he would like to see don the yellow bandana if a biopic is ever made about him.

“It’s being worked on right now, brotha,” Hulk said … before revealing who he believes would be the “perfect” person to fill his boots.

Hulk’s life story is definitely interesting — from bodybuilder to wrestling champ to movie star to reality TV star … and don’t forget all of the family drama. It’s pretty riveting stuff …

After the encounter at LaGuardia, we reached out to Hulk to find out more about the movie — but so far, no word back.
