Levy, who most recently helmed Night At The Musuem 2, will steer the futuristic action film, which centres on a father and son training a humanoid robot to fight in the ring.
John Gatins penned the script for the project, the producers of which include Steven Spielberg, Robert Zemeckis and Don Murphy.
"Steven's passion for this project was absolutely infectious and I'm so excited to bring this story to life," Levy told The Hollywood Reporter. "In a movie filled with these mechanical warriors, at its core Real Steel is an incredibly human story."
