Hugh Jackman Will Play as Boxing Promoter in Next Movie

Hugh Jackman Will Play in Real Steel Movie (thebosh.com)

Australian actor Hugh Jackman traded his claws with a few jabs and hooks.

On Tuesday, the Wolverine star is reportedly will be working together with famous director Steven Spielberg in his next movie, a sci-fi film about robot boxers. Although this time, Spielberg will sit on producer’s seat, not director.

In the movie that will be titled Real Steel, Jackman will play a former pugilist struggling to reinvent himself as a fight trade promoter after human boxers are replaced by machines. The movie has a bit of Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky taste in it, with the story of Jackman will be guiding a discarded robot through the rankings.

This will be Spielberg’s first project to be produced since he secured 825 million dollars in financing for the reconstituted DreamWorks Studios following last year’s split from Paramount Pictures. Canadian filmmaker Shawn Levy is the one who’s appointed as the director, and the filming is due to get underway in June.

Well Jackman’s fans, be sure to watch his future movie!
