seventh son?
No, although I see why you'd guess that. The #7 is a red herring, though.

Sun and Steel

That one's been guessed before, but a new clue is already up.
Correct. Well taken. Your turn.
Here are the clues explained:
Clue 1: A picture of Tottenham's Heung-Min-Son. Spurs fans' chant "Nice one Sonny" is based on the 1973 song "Nice one Cyril", released as a single by a troupe called Cockerel Chorus. This very single release is, although uncredited, Nicko McBrain's recording debut. "New Frontier" was of course Nicko's first writing credit on a Maiden album.
Clue 2: The song can be associated with a U.S president, a political party, and also a trouble-ridden territory in a country that Maiden have visited on only one of their many tours.
John F. Kennedy famously used the term "New Frontier" to describe his political visions after being elected U.S President in 1960. "New Frontier" is the name of a political party in Japan. The Chinese province Xinjiang translates to "New Frontier". Maiden played two dates in China on the Book of Souls world tour.
Clue 3: The song shares its name with two films starring the same actor. The song lyrics make a reference to a scientist who has also been portrayed in a film, even though an invention he is associated with is more famous than the scientist himself.
John Wayne starred in both "New Frontier" and "The New Frontier" in the 1930s. (Victor) Frankenstein is the scientist in the lyrics. His monster creation (itself often erroneously referred to as Frankenstein) is more famous than its creator.
