CNN —Zac Efron’s transformation for new wrestling film “The Iron Claw” turned heads in a 2022 set photo, and it’s still the talk of moviegoers. The actor looked virtually unrecognizable with huge muscles and a bowl haircut as he was on set in Louisiana to play wrestler Kevin Von Erich last year. And a just released cover for Entertainment Weekly has renewed awe about the “High School Musical” star’s new form. “The Iron Claw” follows the Von Erich family and they deal with family drama, overdoses, death and suicide. See the trailer for “The Iron Claw” below.

The image shows him near-horizontal in midair, muscles rippling and hair flying as he delivers the barefooted kick to his unsuspecting rival. Efron will be playing wrestling legend Kevin Von Erich in the film. Family patriarch Fritz Von Erich became a top performer in the industry, trademarking a distinctive finishing move known as “The Iron Claw,” before five of his six sons followed in their father’s footsteps to become wrestlers. Efron will portray Kevin, the last surviving brother, opposite costars Lily James (“Pam & Tommy”) and “The Affair” star Maura Tierney, who will play his mother Doris. “The Iron Claw,” which does not yet have an official release date, comes from writer-director Sean Durkin, whose credits include the 2011 Elizabeth Olsen-starring “Martha Marcy May Marlene.”
