The Iron Claw: When Zac Efron was caught sporting an amazing wig on the set of the upcoming Von Erich family film last November, it amused viewers. We finally get the first glimpse at the next movie by BBC films after several months. Efron, Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson, and Stanley Simons, who play Kevin, Kerry, David, and Mike Von Erich, are all visible in the picture. Seeing the picture and knowing that just one of the brothers is still alive is quite upsetting.
The movie, which tells the tale of the rise and fall of the wrestling dynasty that had a significant influence on the sport since the 1960s, is based on the true story of the illustrious Von Erich family. Over 140 professional wrestling championships were gathered by the illustrious wrestling dynasty as a whole.
Due to the awful circumstances the family experienced, including the premature loss of five of the six brothers, the family legacy encompasses both admiration and sorrow.
Kevin Von Erich, a former world champion who once held the WCWA World Heavyweight Championship, will be played by Efron. When he viewed the pictures of the actor in November, the 65-year-old WWE Hall of Famer gave TMZ his concent. He appears really fit and muscular. He must be putting in a lot of effort, Kevin said TMZ.
Meet the Von Erich Family of the Iron Claw
Holt McCallany will portray Fritz Von Erich. The Von Erich family patriarch was Fritz, whose real name was Jack Adkisson. In the 1950s and 1960s, Fritz, a professional wrestler, rose to prominence in the sport. The World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) was established by him. After losing all but one of his boys, Jack passed away on September 10, 1997, from lung cancer that had gone to his brain.
According to Hola, Five of Fritz and Doris Adkisson’s six sons—Kevin, David, Kerry, Mike, Chris, and Jack Jr.—followed in their father’s footsteps and entered the world of professional wrestling. On September 12, 1959, Jack Jr., their first child, unfortunately, passed away at the age of seven. At the family’s Texas house, there was an electrical mishap that led to his demise.
What the real-life Kevin have to say about his role in the Iron Claw
The actual Kevin, who was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2009, told TMZ in October that Efron “looked great” in pictures taken on the movie set.
It will be a challenging job, in my opinion. They have a lot of work ahead of them because there is a lot of information and time involved, but I saw a picture of the man and he looked amazing,” he remarked at the time. “I don’t think I’ve ever looked that good, so I think they’re going to do fantastic,”
