Netflix has released the first teaser forWe Can Be Heroes. In the footage, Guppy, the daughter of Sharkboy and Lavagirl, combines the powers of her parents to take down enemies.The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirlfans were stunned to see images of the duo as they head back into the world of being superheroes. Taylor Dooley is back as Lavagirl, while Taylor Lautner decided to sit this one out. Actor JJ Dashnaw is taking over the role forWe Can Be Heroes.
In this newNetflixoriginal from director Robert Rodriguez, when alien invaders kidnap Earth’s superheroes, their kids are whisked away to a government safe house. But whip-smart tween Missy Moreno (Yaya Gosselin) will stop at nothing to rescue her superhero dad, Marcus Moreno (Pedro Pascal). Missy teams up with the rest of the superkids to escape their mysterious government babysitter, Ms. Granada (Priyanka Chopra Jonas). If they’re going to save their parents, they’ll have to work together by using their individual powers - from elasticity to time control to predicting the future - and form an out-of-this-world team.
Full of action and heart,We Can Be Heroesis directed by Robert Rodriguez (Spy Kids) and also stars Boyd Holbrook, Christian Slater, Chris McDonald, and Adriana Barraza. Rodriguez has been hounded by major studios to rebootSpy Kids, but he felt that revisitingThe Adventures of Shark Boy & Lava Girl in 3Dwould be more fitting for now, so he got to work on it. From the brief bit of footage, the director seems like he was excited to shareGuppy riding a gigantic chromatic sharkas she combines the powers of her parents.
Seeing and hearing Pedro Pascalin theWe Can Be Heroesteaser may be strange forThe Mandalorianfans, who have all grown used to only hearing his voice over the past year. Obviously, Pascal has had a number of successful roles over the years, but teaming up with theStar Warsfranchise has elevated the actor in ways that he did not anticipate. Pascal can currently be seen (mostly heard) inThe Mandalorianseason 2, and will finally be seen as Maxwell Lord inWonder Woman 1984on Christmas Day. It was just announced that the long-awaited DC sequel will premiere in theaters and HBO Max.
Robert Rodriguez described theWe Can Be Heroesas “like anAvengersteam but they all have kids. The kids have powers but they don’t know how to use them because they’re just so young.” As forseeing Sharkboy back in the movie, he will not have a speaking role, according to Rodriguez. “The only speaking role is for Lavagirl.” As to how that will work in the overall story, it appears that the children are the stars of this movie, which promises fun for the entire family. you’re able to check out theWe Can Be Heroesteaser above, thanks tothe Netflix Film Club YouTubechannel.
