Yikes, Wolverine – just because you're done with X-Men doesn't mean you have to up and join the circus.

We kid, of course. But The Greatest Showman does star Hugh Jackman as P.T. Barnum (as in Barnum & Bailey) alongside Michelle Williams, Zendaya, and Zac Efron.

And if that's still not enough to get you to peek behind the curtain, we'll also point out that The Greatest Showman is a musical featuring brand-new tunes by Pasek and Paul – the songwriting duo that brought us last year's smash-hit musical, La La Land.

Whether their Oscar-winning magic transfers to this picture, we'll just have to wait and see. For now, though, we will point out that The Greatest Showman is scheduled for release on a prime awards-season date: December 25.
