Despite shooting from obscurity to overnight fame as X-Men‘s Wolverine, and then going on to become the face of the franchise for close to two decades, you don’t tend to find Hugh Jackman starring in action movies. In fact, if you exclude his multiple recurring appearances as Logan, then the actor hasn’t been in anything that fits neatly into the action genre since 2004’s Van Helsing.
Still, he’s appeared in several effects-heavy productions packed with plenty of scale and spectacle since then, although they haven’t all been particularly good. One of the 51 year-old’s more forgotten movies recently arrived on Netflix, though, and has since been playing like gangbusters, with Real Steel currently the second most popular title on the streaming service in the United States behind only Enola Holmes, which is no shame when the pic is poised to become one of the platform’s biggest ever original movies.
