Robert Irwin has teased that he will soon make his big-screen debut.
The 22-year-old Wildlife Warrior has shared a trailer for what appears to be a movie project called Max Impact.
In the brief preview, the Dancing with the Stars champ can be seen racing through a jungle setting in his trademark khakis.
'Something epic is coming,' he captioned the post on Instagram.
The TV host added, 'I'm so excited to finally share what I've been working on… things are about to get wild.'
Robert did not share any plot details, but the trailer included the title card, 'the threat is everywhere', suggesting that the film might have a conservation theme.

Other images include a crocodile in the wild, a frighteningly large spider and a flock of birds in flight.
The trailer also includes a 'starring Robert Irwin' credit for the I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! host.
Robert's fans were quick to post their approval.
Gushed one impressed fan, 'Ok, I have been waiting for you to be in a movie!!!, really hope that's what this is!!!'
'This is so cool,' added another Robert enthusiast, while a third said, 'My kids have been asking when they get to see you interacting with the animals again, so excited!'
It comes after Robert recently shared a terrifying story about how he escaped a very close call with an enormous crocodile.
Appearing on The Jimmy Fallon Show on Monday, the reality star told how the 317–kilogram reptile rolled on top of him.
He said he was using a 'method' devised by his father, the late Steve Irwin, when the crocodile pinned him to the ground.

'We research crocodiles in the wild to better conserve them, right?' Robert began.
'The way you do that – my dad came up with this – is you actually have to jump on them, right?'
Robert told the host he leapt on top of the creature's back only to have the crocodile go into a 'death roll' – flipping over, landing belly up with Robert still holding on.
'I jumped onto him. I kid you not – 14 feet [4.2 metres] of crocodile, big croc,' Robert continued.
'So I'm stuck underneath him with my arm hanging out. I've got like, probably, I don't know, maybe 700 pounds [317kg] on top of me, and I'm just like, "What do I do?"'
Robert went on to say the scary encounter ended happily when the crocodile rolled back onto its belly.
The fan favourite will soon be seen in a Dancing with the Stars spin-off, which recently wrapped filming in Brisbane.
The Disney/ BBC production features hopefuls trying out for a role on Dancing with the Stars.
All the cast members are based in America and are competing for a spot as a professional dancer on DWTS US.
