We Can Be Heroes release time: When is the Sharkboy and Lavagirl sequel on Netflix?
The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl sequel grows.
Robert Rodriguez has won film fans over with a range of directorial features across his career.
Many fans of his work often cite
Sin City,
The Faculty, and
From Dusk Till Dawn as personal favourites, but for others, his family-friendly ventures have stuck with them. We’re talking
Spy Kids, and of course,
The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl.
Well, in an unexpected turn after helming the 2019 blockbuster
Alita: Battle Angel, the 52-year-old filmmaker is once again dipping his toes into the Sharkboy and Lavagirl universe with a sequel.
AÂ hot topic in the movie industry in recent years has been the growing shift from traditional theatrical releases to at-home distribution via internet streaming servicesâespecially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the effect it has had on theaters.
Director Robert Rodriguez, who is known in part for the âSpy Kidsâ series and 2005âs âThe Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl,â is embracing that change with his new film, âWe Can Be Heroes,â which premieres on Netflix on Christmas Day.
âI donât think I wouldâve done a movie just for theatrical,â Rodriguez said, acknowledging that younger audiences tend to rewatch films like this. Thatâs a problem when it comes to theaters and kids can only see a film onceâmaybe a couple more times if their parents allowâbefore home release, he said.
The characters made their debut in 2005 s
The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D starring a pre-
Twilight Taylor Lautner and Taylor Dooley as the superhero duo, but the movie underperformed at the box office and didn t get a sequel.
We Can Be Heroes sees a group of superhero children have to learn to work together to save their parents and the planet from alien invaders. One of the children is Guppy (Vivien Lyra Blair), the daughter of Sharkboy and Lavagirl.
Talking to
Digital Spy, Rodriguez revealed that since Netflix had originally asked him for an original movie, he didn t bring back the characters initially.
