We’ve been fed blurry images of those dodgy haircuts for months now but finally, we have an official still from A24’s upcoming wrestling biopic The Iron Claw. Set to be released in the States in December, we’re very excited to be able to settle down in our local cinemas and finally witness…just what exactly that hair is all about, come on guys, be serious, we’re not watching for the plot.

If we were, however, we would be charmed by the true story of the inseparable Von Erich brothers, who made history in the intensely competitive world of professional wrestling in the early 1980s. Directed by Sean Durkin (of Martha Marcy May Marlene fame) and starring Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White and HERO cover star Harris Dickinson, The Iron Claw looks set to be a family drama with a high camp twist. We’ll be seated.
