Has Real Steel’s Netflix Success Sparked New Sequel Hope? Here’s What The Director Said

Under the more traditional model that solely relied on theatrical and home video release, you’d put a movie like the Hugh Jackman-starring robot brawler into the world through those two channels, in that exact order. And no matter how diehard the fanbase for such a movie after the fact, it took either a huge theatrical success, or a strong and respectable home video showing, to keep a potential franchise in the game. And yet, despite those odds seeming to have stymied any movement on a potential sequel to Levy’s 2011 movie, it looks like there’s new hope for a sequel that’s being sparked at this very moment, thanks to Real Steel’s recent amazing performance on Netfilx.
