A first look at A24’s upcoming wrestling drama “The Iron Claw” has been revealed, featuring Zac Efron’s bloated physique as Golden Warrior, aka Kevin Von Erich. “The Iron Claw” is a biographical film about the wrestling dynasty that was the Von Erich family, and “The Bear” stars leading man Jeremy Allen White as Keri Von Erich, and “Beach Rats” actor Harris Dickinson as David Von Erich.
At first glance, Efron’s muscular build is accentuated as he is seen in the air, stunning his opponent with an impressive kick move. Efron recently attracted social media attention when the pictures shown revealed his cropped hairstyle, which matches the real Von Erich style and era. Although Von Erich doesn’t get much involved in the upcoming movie, he recently gave Efron some great praise through TMZ, telling them, “I’ve never looked so good. Even though he looked great, he must have been working really hard.”
Additional cast for The Iron Claw, which is currently in production, includes Holt McCalany, Maura Tierney and Lily James. The film is directed and written by director Sean Durkin, best known for his 2011 film Martha Marcy My Marilyn, in which Elizabeth Olsen played the lead role. A24 and Access Industries are co-financing the film with A24 producers including Tessa Ross, Derrin Schlesinger and Harrison Huffman. The film was developed by House Productions with support from Access Entertainment and BBC Films.
“The Iron Claw” is tentatively set for a theatrical release for 2023. Check out the first look image below.
