Cast of ‘Iron Claw’ Doesn’t Dismiss the Idea of Trying Wrestling for Real

The Iron Claw’ is a film about the rise and fall of the legendary Von Erich family, who made a huge impact on the sport of professional wrestling in the 1960s. The film is set to star Zac Efron, who will play Kevin Von Erich in the movie. Efron and other cast members have made it clear they will wrestle if they are asked in the future.

The first trailer for the film was released recently and it showed Zac Efron looking absolutely jacked as he was running the ropes, among other things. Even MJF’s role was also confirmed in the upcoming film.

While speaking to EW, Zac Efron (Kevin Von Erich), Jeremy Allen White (Kerry Von Erich), and Harris Dickinson (David Von Erich) were asked if they ever had any intention of actually wrestling in a ring. All three made it clear they will wrestle if they are asked in the future.

“Oh, I would jump in,” White replies immediately.

“I would love to,” Dickinson agrees. “Do you remember at the end of the shoot? We were like, ‘Should we try and do this for real?'”

“We went to Sean and were like, ‘Sean, call them! Tell them we’re ready!'” White recalls.

“Yeah, call WWE!” Efron chimes in. “Say we’re going to do it!”

Dickinson turns to the others with a slightly more serious look. “Honestly,” he says slowly, “would you do it if they asked you?”

White gives an immediate “F*** yeah,” vigorously nodding his head. He and Dickinson then look at Efron, who stops to consider and grins. “Only if all you guys were there.”

The film is also set to release on December 22nd this year, so it remains to be seen whether the film will turn out to be a memorable one. After all, it could jumpstart their wrestling career in the future as well.
