Get ready to rumble once again. After years of rumors and fan speculation, DreamWorks Pictures has finally released the first official teaser trailer for Real Steel 2, the long-awaited sequel to the 2011 sci-fi sports hit. Titled simply Real Steel 2, the film sees Hugh Jackman reprise his role as former boxer-turned-robot-trainer Charlie Kenton — but this time, he’s not fighting alone.
The teaser, which debuted during the NBA Finals broadcast and was immediately uploaded online, offers a thrilling glimpse into a new age of robot boxing. Aged, battle-worn, and more determined than ever, Charlie is now mentoring his grown-up son Max, played by Tye Sheridan, who has become a robotics engineer. Together, they’re building a new kind of fighter — not just a machine, but a symbol of legacy.
🎬 The trailer shows glimpses of:
-
A sleeker, rebuilt version of Atom, the underdog robot fan-favorite.
-
Underground fight clubs where illegal AI-powered bots fight to the death.
-
A mysterious new villain: a corporate-backed fighter with forbidden upgrades and no ethical limits.
-
A final scene showing Max standing ringside, saying: “It’s not just about winning, Dad… it’s about proving we still matter.”
Directed by Shawn Levy, returning from the original, and featuring cutting-edge VFX, Real Steel 2 blends emotion, action, and futuristic sport in what the studio is calling “a father-son redemption story with metal fists and a human heart.”
📅 Real Steel 2 is set to hit theaters Thanksgiving 2025, with an exclusive IMAX release and global rollout. Streaming on Peacock 60 days after its theatrical run.
