Underrated Hugh Jackman Sci-Fi Movie Sequel Gets Hopeful Response From Director 13 Years Later

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Real Steel 2 is still very much a possibility for Shawn Levy and Hugh Jackman. The original 2011 sci-fi sports movie was loosely based on the Richard Matheson short story "Steel" and revolved around a former boxer who looks to connect with his estranged son by building and training a robot boxer together.

While attending CinemaCon to present new Deadpool & Wolverine footage, Screen Rant interviewed Shawn Levy. When asked whether he and Jackman ever discuss Real Steel 2 coming to be, especially after working on Ryan Reynolds' MCU threequel, the director confirmed that he and the star continue to talk about it, citing one main reason as to why hopes for a sequel remain alive for them.

The studio is already taking steps to do so with a Real Steel show entering development for Disney+ in early 2022. Word has largely fallen silent on the project in the years since, with the last update coming from Levy, who's onboard as a producer, in February 2022 that indicated they were still looking for a showrunner, let alone put together a writers room.

Should the MCU threequel prove to be a hit in the same vein as 2021's Free Guy, it would go a long way to establishing Levy having some sway with Disney in getting Real Steel 2 made.
