Zac Efron's wrestling movie is almost here.
Last year, photos of the star on a film set went viral thanks to his uncharacteristic short denim shorts and bowl haircut. The movie he was shooting was The Iron Claw, and it's set to come out on Dec. 22.
Even better, the film's first official trailer dropped on Wednesday, and it offers a fuller look at the highly anticipated film.
The Iron Claw is based on the real-life stories of the Von Erich family, a famous professional wrestling family that rose to fame in the 1980s and 1990s amid a series of personal tragedies, including the deaths of several brothers.
Zac plays Kevin Von Erich, while Jeremy Allen White plays Kerry, Harris Dickinson plays David, and Stanley Simons plays Mike, his brothers and fellow wrestlers. Rounding out the cast are Holt McCallany as their father and coach Fritz, Maura Tierney as their mother Doris, and Lily James as Kevin's wife Pam.
The A24 film appears to be filled with discussable aspects like the very 1980s outfits, the all-star cast, the physical transformations they appear to have undergone, and the chronicling of familial and mental health struggles.
It also may just be Zac's most serious role to date, at least that's what some fans seem to think, with more than a few already hopping on an awards campaign for the actor. Here are these and more reactions to the film's trailer:

A tragic family story of children desperately trying to live out their parents' dream even if it kills them, starring Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White? Yeah, my heart's going to be ripped out of my chest but I'll be seated. https://t.co/lgW25JOoP5

Zac might be up for an award for this performance. If you don't know about the Von Erichs. Watch their Dark Side of the Ring episode on Hulu. This movie will be a tragedy of the highest order. https://t.co/M87ENrH7se

I'm still in awe that A24 is making a movie about the Von Erichs. This will not be an easy watch, whether you're familiar with the Von Erichs or not (I'll still be seated opening night though, this looks pretty damn good) https://t.co/9OAaCWFIv4

This looks great. I'm excited, but also dreading how sad it's going to be. https://t.co/30ng7XNxTh

Finally, among those to react to the trailer was Marshall Von Erich, Kevin's son. He said he's "excited" about the film.
I knew it wouldn’t be 100% accurate because my Dad wasn’t Involved but those of you that know our family know that God played a major role in our story. Still excited about it and think it can help a lot of people that are suffering from loss. They nailed the wardrobe tho 😂 https://t.co/yRxIyUvflg
