And in a Hollywood twist that not many expected, the sequel to Robert Rodrigeuz’s superhero adventure, We Can Be Heroes is coming to Netflix on New Year’s Day! We have everything you need to know about We Can Be Heroes, including the plot, full cast list, and Netflix release date.
We Can Be Heroes is an upcoming Netflix Original superhero movie written and directed by Robert Rodriguez. The movie is the direct sequel to Rodrigeuz’s 2005 feature The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D. Before Netflix acquired the distribution rights, Sony Pictures and Dimension Films were the distributors. It’s unknown when the movie would have been released in theatres, but the distributors likely changed hands because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The characters were created by Robert Rodriguez’s son Racer, which inspired the director to create the first film. (NETFLIX)
