Sharkboy And Lavagirl Return As Parent At Netflix On New Year’s Day

SHARKBOY AND LAVAGIRL ARE BACK!—AND THEY ARE PARENTS NOW

Iconic superheroes from the imaginary land of 3D, Lavagirl and Sharkboy, return in the new movie “We Can Be Heroes”. It is a standalone sequel to ‘The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D’ that was released in 2005, which immediately became a mainstream pleaser among the elementary-school kids back then. Were you one of those kids?

If the answer is yes, then you will be thrilled to find out that Taylor Dooley reprises her role as fiery-pink Lavagirl in these new first-look stills dropped by Netflix.

And they are parents now! Bird Box’s Vivien Lyra Blair will be playing as their sole daughter who is apparently half-shark.

They are joined by an all-new cast who will be introducing a group of new characters and powers to the imaginary universe.

Amidst the exciting news and intriguing visual looks, we also know that Taylor Lautner won’t come back as Sharkboy for unknown reasons. JJ Dashnaw took on the mantle instead. And the fans made it clear on Twitter that they are missing Lautner.


Robert Rodriguez, director of the first movie, will be taking the lead from behind the cameras once again. He admitted to receiving a lot of demand from the studio to reboot ‘Spy Kids’ and ‘Sharkboy and Lavagirl’ to put on a streaming platform.

In a recent interview, Rodriguez stated that “A lot of families have spent a lot of time together. I’ve been getting calls from all kinds of studios: ‘Reboot Spy Kids.’ ‘Reboot Sharkboy.’ Of course, they want to.

A family-friendly adventure movie, especially a continuation of a classic-favorite movie, is just what every family needs to get through these hard times.

Netflix is releasing the adventure on their streaming platform on New Year’s Day. Will you be watching the movie and hum along to Sharkboy’s lullaby?

The casts also include Pedro Pascal, Christian Slater, Boyd Holbrook, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Christopher McDonald, Adriana Barraza, Lyon Daniels, Nathan Blair, Lotus Blossom, Andy Walken, Andrew Diaz, Sung Kang, Haley Reinhart, J. Quinton Johnson, Brittany Perry-Russell, and Brently Heilbron.
