The Iron Claw brings a tragic true story to life in a biopic, and there are different ways to watch the movie using showtimes and its streaming release. The movie from director Sean Durkin chronicles the rise of the Von Erich family in the world of wrestling. The Iron Claw‘s cast is headlined by Zac Efron as Kevin Von Erich, but he is joined by Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson, and Stanley Simons, who all play Kevin’s brothers, and Holt McCallany as their father, Fritz. The incredible cast has driven excitement to see the sports biopic, with rave reviews also helping generate a higher level of interest in the film.
It is thanks to the sum of its parts that The Iron Claw long had aspirations of contending for the Oscars in 2024. With The Iron Claw‘s true story and tragedies giving the movie an emotional core, the cast largely shines in various difficult roles. Zac Efron’s dramatic turn and bulked-up physique made headlines early on, leaving curious observers with a long time to wait to see them both in action. The Iron Claw‘s release means that audiences now have a chance to see what all the hype is about and learn about the Von Erich family story for the first time or see a familiar tragedy recreated.

When Will The Iron Claw Release On Streaming?
A24 has not officially announced when The Iron Claw releases on streaming, but the destination of the movie is known. The Iron Claw will stream on Max at a later date after A24 and agreed to a deal with Warner Bros.’ streaming service in late 2023 to have all upcoming releases stream there. Since the film is one of the first under A24 and Max’s new deal, there is no precedence for the speed at which the streaming debut will happen. Given the movie’s hopes for Oscar nominations, January or February 2024 could make sense for The Iron Claw‘s streaming release date, but that might be too soon.
When Will The Iron Claw Release On Digital?
The earliest opportunity to watch The Iron Claw at home should come with the film’s digital release. A24 is sure to make the movie available to buy or rent on all major PVOD platforms at some point, and it might not take long. Priscilla was released on digital just one month after its theatrical release, so The Iron Claw‘s digital release could follow the same schedule. This would make the movie available in homes around the world potentially right as Oscar voting takes place.
