Zac Efron has long ceased to resemble the teen idol from “High School Musical.” A film will soon appear in cinemas that may significantly change its position in the film industry. In “The Iron Claw”, which will tell the story of a family of professional wrestlers, he will play the role of wrestler Kevin Von Erich. The athlete is currently 66 years old and is the son of Fritz Von Erich.

The Von Erich family is the so-called wrestling dynasty that left its mark on this discipline. Their story interested the creators so much that they decided to create a film inspired by real events. The production will focus on the path to fame and the sudden decline in the importance of the family, which happened due to the sudden death of five of the six sons of the doyen of the Fritz family.
The main character’s brother, Kerry Von Erich, will be played by Jeremy Allen White, whom we may recognize from the series “The Bear”. In one of the interviews for “Esquire” he revealed some details about his preparation for this role. The actor had to gain a lot of weight and work on his figure. He confessed that he had to actually start eating a lot more than he suspected.
The third son of the legendary family, David, will be played by Harris Dickinson, who last year starred in the Palme d’Or award-winning film “In the Triangle” by Ruben Östlund. Additionally, the cast will also include Lily James as Kevin’s wife Pam, Holt McCallany as Fritz Von Erich and Maura Tierney as Doris Von Erich.
Sean Durkin, whose credits include such films as “Martha Marcy May Marlene”, “The Nest”, and the series “Inseparable”, is responsible for the script and direction of the production. The film is produced by the A24 studio, which is responsible for, among others, behind this year’s Oscar hit, the film “Everything Everywhere at Once”.
