New 'Iron Claw' Image: Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White Flex Their Muscles
The Big Picture A24's wrestling biopic The Iron Claw has set its wide-release date. The tragic tale of the Von Erich wrestling family, starring Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White, will hit theaters on December 22, 2023, Variety reports, which will put the sports drama in a crowded holiday marketplace with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife, the musical adaptation of The Color Purple, and Michael Mann's Ferrari.
The film will star Efron as Kevin Von Erich, with White as his brother Kerry; the film will also star Harris Dickinson as their brother David, Holt McCallany as their father Fritz, Maura Tierney as their mother Doris, and Lily James as Kevin’s wife Pam. A24 has also released a new image from the film, showing the Von Erich brothers hanging out on the family ranch; the actors all had to get into pro wrestling shape for the film, and their efforts clearly paid off.
Who Are the Von Erichs? Pro wrestler Jack Adkisson took on the name "Fritz Von Erich" as part of his wrestling character, a villainous German heel. Famed for his athleticism and his "Iron Claw" hold, he became a star both in his home state of Texas and overseas, in Japan. His sons entered the wrestling business as they grew up, and the family became the face of pro wrestling in Texas in the '70s and '80s.
The Iron Claw will be released on December 22, 2023. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates, and watch Collider's interview with Zac Efron below.
