Look out, ’cause here they come.

In the hotly anticipated “The Greatest Showman,” which just released a first trailer, Hugh Jackman will portray P.T. Barnum, who famously founded the Barnum & Bailey Circus.

The musical film will feature a score from the Tony- and Oscar-winning team Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (“Dear Evan Hansen,” “La La Land”), and will hit theaters on Christmas Day.

In addition to Jackman, the high-flying feature will star a roster of heavy-hitters from all realms of entertainment including Zac Efron, Zendaya, Michelle Williams, Rebecca Ferguson, and Keala Settle.

Michael Gracey will direct the feature, from 20th Century Fox.
