11-year-old Canadian actor Dakota Goyo has joined the cast of the sci-fi thriller Real Steel says The Hollywood Reporter. Based on "I Am Legend" author Richard Matheson's short story of an ex-fighter (Hugh Jackman) who becomes a promoter when human boxing is outlawed for being too violent. The new gladiators are 2,000-pound robots with human qualities. His access to sub-standard robot parts hampers his hopes for glory in Robot Boxing, until he discovers a discarded robot that always seems to win.
The ex-fighter also discovers he's the father of a 13-year old son (Goyo), and they bond as the robot brawls its way toward the top.
Goyo scored the role after a lengthy and competitive audition process.
Shawn Levy directs the film when production kicks off in June.
Levy, Don Murphy and Susan Montford will all produce
