Hugh Jackman’s 2011 movie Real Steel has been steadily climbing Netflix’s rankings since it was added to the streaming platform. The action film is currently sitting at number eight on its ranking of top 10 films on the platform in the US (via FlixPatrol). 

The science fiction film directed by Stranger Things’ Shawn Levy stars Jackman as a former boxer whose sport has been replaced with robot competitors. Working with his son to build and train their own robot, the thrilling movie also stars Dakota Goyo, Evangeline Lilly, and Anthony Mackie.

It seems Jackman is busy filming Deadpool 3 after he shared a cryptic post recently. He’s making his return as Wolverine in the threequel, also helmed by Levy, as Deadpool makes his MCU debut in the new movie.
