Also lined up to star in the movie are actors Jeremy Allen White, Lily James, and Harris Dickinson, The Iron Claw follows the true story of the Von Erich family, a dynasty of wrestlers who took the sport by storm across three generations.
The High School Musical alum recently opened up about his "bulking" journey for the role, sharing that he took an entirely different approach than when he was preparing for 2017's Baywatch, the main being not to overtrain, something he did for his role on the reboot..
