The return of every Wolverine variant alongside of his titular role. With the film's box office score breaking several records, it would be no surprise if Hugh Jackman was asked to continue his run as Wolverine, though the future of this iconic partnership is still uncertain.

Deadpool & Wolverine 2's future is still up in the air as no official announcements have been made about whether the two characters will appear in later projects, with the actors also giving no further information. In the meantime, audiences who loved Hugh Jackman's performance can easily find a variety of films where he plays a similar archetype or gets into other action-packed situations. One particular underrated gem of Hugh Jackman's career, Real Steel, features both, making it perfect for audiences who enjoyed Logan's journey.

Real Steel Is An Underrated Gem In Hugh Jackman’s Career

Real Steel Tells A Heartwarming Father-Son Story

Real Steel is an underrated gem in Hugh Jackman's career as it tells a heartwarming story of reconciliation while also featuring robot-filled action sequences. Hugh Jackman's sci-fi film Real Steel tells the story of former boxer Charlie Kenton, who must take his son Max (Dakota Goyo) on the road as he attempts to make money fighting robots. Robots have replaced human boxers, but Charlie has little luck winning until Max discovers Atom, a sparring bot whose shadow programming allows them to achieve a winning streak. Along the way, the father and son reconcile their relationship and complex pasts through Atom.

Hugh Jackman's Charlie shares many similarities with Logan, as both men are jaded and feel there is little left in the world for them. Much like Logan, Charlie rediscovers his ions as well as reconciles with his past, stepping into the role of the father Max needs. Charlie's growth is one of the film's main draws as the heartwarming story pairs well with each match Atom faces, bringing the two humans closer together. Real Steel is not Hugh Jackman's only sci-fi robot movie, though, as he starred in another that tried to tell a similar story with different results.

Real Steel Isn’t Hugh Jackman’s Only Sci-Fi Robot Movie

Hugh Jackman Also Starred In 2015's Chappie

Real Steel is not Hugh Jackman's only sci-fi movie, though his second one was not as popular with audiences. Chappie, much like Real Steel, tells the story of a robot-filled society through a police robot that, thanks to its creator, has now gained sentience but is captured by a local gang in Johannesburg, South Africa. As the titular robot attempts to learn about life and living, other forces attempt to destroy him, including Hugh Jackman's Vincent whose own crime-stopping invention was cast aside.

Though Chappie 2 will likely not happen, the film showcases just how versatile Hugh Jackman is, as audiences continue to enjoy both his career and Logan's return.

While Chappie had quite a bit of action and interesting ideas, it was not as successful with critics or audiences as Real Steel was and continues to be. Chappie's score of 32% critical and 56% for audiences on Rotten Tomatoes highlights many of the film's shortcomings but also uplifts Hugh Jackman's performance as one of the film's antagonists. Though Chappie 2 will likely not happen due to this reception, the film showcases just how versatile Hugh Jackman is, as audiences continue to enjoy both his career and Logan's return.
