2011 movie revival

LOS ANGELES: Hugh Jackman is delighted with the resurgence in popularity for Real Steel.

The 52-year-old actor starred in Shawn Levy’s 2011 movie that saw an absent father bond with his son over the sport of robot boxing. It became one of the most-watched films on Netflix during lockdown.

“A lot of people come up to me in the street and tell me that they love that movie,” he said.

Levy recently revealed that he had discussed the possibility of making a sequel with Hugh but that no projects were in the pipeline yet.
