In a recent interview, the 21 Laps Entertainment founder opened up about the prospects of a follow-up to the Hugh Jackman-led sci-fi boxing film, stating that he has yet to make a decision on the future of the celebrated franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Deadpool &amp; Wolverine director on Real Steel 2 possibility<\/p>\n<p>While speaking with <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/real-steel-2-sequel-tv-series-future-update-shawn-levy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Collider<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0Steve Weintraub about the upcoming final season of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superherohype.com\/tag\/stranger-things\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stranger Things<\/a>, Shawn Levy noted that even though Real Steel has managed to garner a dedicated fanbase since its theatrical release, chances of a sequel materializing continue to remain \u201cunclear\u201d for now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a hard thing because\u00a0the movie is so beloved in a way that is out of proportion to however the movie did at the box office.
