See the first trailer of the Eddie The Eagle film

His bulging biceps have been clearly seen via his tight again t-shirt, proving that his current grueling exercises are paying off.

A trailer for the feel-good biopic Eddie the Eagle has landed; with Taron Egerton taking on the beloved British ski jumper.

The trailer opens with Edward a.k.a. Eddie the Eagle in his childhood as he trains hard to become an Olympian, although his father stresses that the kid is not meant to be an athlete.

20th Century Fox premiered the first Eddie the Eagle trailer. And we’ve got the first trailer, the first poster, and an official synopsis for the movie.

The 26-year-old – who’s famed for showing in Kingsman: The Secret Service – stars as Eddie, whereas Hugh Jackman takes on the position of his coach Bronson Peary. “I’m gonna go the Winter Olympics”, Eddie says.

Edwards was the first person ever to represent the United Kingdom in the ski jump at the Olympics in Calgary in 1988.

Although the sporting ace had little success on the ski fields – largely due to his fear of heights – his determination and can-do attitude endeared him greatly to the British public.

Britain’s most famous ski jumper, Eddie “The Eagle”, is being immortalised in a Hollywood film.

Sean Macaulay penned the script. Producers are Matthew Vaughn, Adam Bohling, David Reid, Rupert Maconick and Valerie Van Galder.

EDDIE THE EAGLE’s supporting cast includes Jo Hartley (‘This Is England’), Tim McInnerny (‘Blackadder’), Keith Allen (‘Robin Hood’), Iris Berban (‘Rosa Roth’) and Rune Temte (‘The Last Kingdom’), Christopher Walken (‘Catch Me If You Can’) and Jim Broadbent (‘Bridget Jones’ Diary’).
