Hugh Jackman packed quite a punch -- with his dapper suit and slick hair -- at Sunday's Los Angeles premiere of his new film, "Real Steel."
The premiere, held at the Universal City Walk Cinemas, was also attended by his co-stars Evangeline Lilly, Olga Fonda and director Shawn Levy.
Giant robots from the film took over the red carpet, as guests including 50 Cent, actress Sophie Monk, Chord Overstreet and Hank Azaria showed up to support the film.
"Reel Steel" is a new sci-fi picture set in a world of robot boxing. Based on Richard Matheson's 1956 short story, "Steel," the film follows a former fighter (Jackman) and his creation of a boxing robot built to compete in the ring.
Jackman is once again buff and toned in the film, but the actor recently revealed he only does it for movie roles.
"I don't really enjoy training. People say it's addictive, but I'm like, 'Not so much.' If I weren't getting paid or didn't have a character like Wolverine to maintain, I would just be a tall, lean, fit guy," Jackman told Men's Fitness.

The film opens in theaters on Friday.
