Disney+ developing a Real Steel adaptation

Variety

The potential series, from Stranger Things producer Shawn Levy, is based on the 2011 Hugh Jackman film of the same name that took place in the not too distant future in which human boxers have been replaced by giant fighting robots. Based on the short story Steel by Richard Matheson, Real Steel starred Jackman as a former boxer who, along with his estranged son, fixes up an old robot they find in a junkyard and turns it into a champion. The project is in its early stages, so it's unclear if how much it'll adhere to the film.
