Zac Efron has shared a first-look image of himself in action as the real-life wrestler Kevin Von Erich from the upcoming A24 film The Iron Claw. Written and directed by Canadian filmmaker Sean Durkin, the story of The Iron Claw revolves around the Von Erich family and their era of enormous success in the 1960s as they took the world of professional wrestling by storm.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Photos of Efron's stunning physical transformation to portray Kevin Von Erich have been making the rounds online recently, but the above-shown image marks the first official still released from the film. This isn't the first time the High School Musical star has undergone a drastic bodily change for a role, as he had also beefed up his physique for 2017's Baywatch, to which he's expressed having endured depression because of it.
Everything We Know So Far About A24's The Iron Claw Baby Driver and Pam & Tommy actress Lily James will star opposite Efron in a currently undisclosed role, with many theorizing she will portray Ehrlich's wife, Pam Adkisson.
Given that the film's early promotional material seems to be solely focused on Efron's character, it is increasingly likely that the film will be told solely from Kevin's perspective. A release date for The Iron Claw is yet to be announced, however, the film is expected to arrive in theaters sometime in 2023. The above-shown image of Efron further proves that he's the right man for the role and will undoubtedly heighten anticipation for the film.
