In a stunning transformation, Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White take on the roles of the legendary Von Eric Brothers in A24’s upcoming wrestling drama, “The Iron Claw.” The trailer for this highly anticipated film was released on Wednesday, providing a first look at the captivating story of the real-life Eric wrestling empire.
“The Iron Claw” delves into how this empire was built and brought to the brink of glory by Fritz Von Eric. Efron and White star as Kevin and Cary, the eldest and middle Von Eric brothers, who were the favorites of their father. While sibling rivalries are not uncommon, the rankings can always change, as Efron humorously adds, “then David, then Mike.”
The film explores the challenges faced by the Von Eric brothers as they strive to uphold the unrelenting vision of their influential father, who shaped the sport that earned them both domestic and international acclaim in the 1960s. The trailer showcases the trials and tribulations faced by each brother as they navigate their sports dynasty, battling not only opponents in the ring but also personal issues such as illness and rage.
As the tagline of the film suggests, “In the face of losses outside the ring, their legacy will forever be the greatest in the history of wrestling.” Wrestling enthusiasts and film buffs alike can mark their calendars, as “The Iron Claw” is set to hit theaters on December 22nd.
