Zac is heard saying in the trailer: "Ever since I was a child, people said my family was cursed. Mum tried to protect us with God. Pop tried to protect us with wrestling.

I believed him; we all did." <img class="wp-image-1263232508 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/10/GettyImages-1245008878.jpg" alt="Zac Efron The Iron Claw" width="725" height="1024" />[[imagecaption|| Zac Efron has bulked up for the role.
