Netflix has released three new images fromRobert Rodriguez’s forthcomingWe Can Be Heroesand they’re all about our beloved Sharkboy and Lavagirl. Over the summer at Comic-Con 2020,we learned Sharkboy and Lavagirlwould make an appearance in Rodriguez’s new movie. The duo’s return makes total sense consideringWe Can Be Heroesis set in the same universe as 2005’sThe Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl, the movie which first introduced us to the kid superheroes.
But Sharkboy and Lavagirl are kids no more. The new photo of the superhero team reveals Sharkboy and Lavagirl are now grown-ups with new and improved superhero costumes.Taylor Dooleyis back after 15 years to reprise the role of Lavagirl. As for Sharkboy, it looks like the role first played byTaylor Lautnerhas been recast withJJ Dashnawstepping in. Additional images fromWe Can Be Heroesalso showcase Lavagirl in action and tease Sharkboy and Lavagirl’s daughter, Guppy (Vivien Blair), riding a shark. (I would like to take a moment to announce that I am officially #TeamGuppy and cannot wait to see her use that shark to save the day.)
Dooley, Dashnaw, and Blair join an incredible cast forWe Can Be Heroes. In addition the this trio of stars, theWe Can Be Heroescast includesPedro Pascal,Priyanka Chopra,Christian Slater,Boyd Holbrook,Sung Kang,Adriana Barraza, andChristopher McDonald.We Can Be Heroesfollows a group of children, all the offspring of the world’s biggest superheroes, who must come together to fight a group of alien invaders after the aforementioned intergalactic baddies take their parents as prisoners.
