Picture: Netflix After the success of We Can Be Heroes, Netflix is teaming up with Robert Rodriguez again, but this time to reboot the actual Spy Kids franchise. As we first revealed, the new entry is Spy Kids: Armageddon, focusing on a new family of spies. Here’s everything we know about the new movie on Netflix in late September 2023. Robert Rodriguez will again write, produce and direct the movie, just like the first four Spy Kids installments. Picture: Getty Images We Can Be Heroes is set in the Spy Kids universe, serving as a sequel to the 2005 film The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D. Said movie has become one of the most successful kids’ movies in Netflix history, watched by 53 million households during the first four weeks on the service. It remains one of Netflix’s most popular movies of all time, with it being the sixth most popular in Netflix’s history based on hours viewed in the first 91 days. The Spy Kids movie will be made in partnership with Skydance Media and Spy Kids rights owner Spyglass Media, which a year ago inked a deal with Rodriguez to work on redeveloping the property. Spy Kids: Armageddon, although without its title then, was originally announced on March 30, 2022. David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger will produce for Skydance, which will oversee development and production. Elizabeth Avellan and Racer Max will also produce. Spyglass’ Gary Barber and Peter Oillataguerre will executive produce. What’s the plot of Spy Kids: Armageddon? Plot details for the movie are very scarce, but we have a small logline nonetheless: “A relaunch a classic family franchise which will revolve around the activities of a multicultural family. Tony and Patty must use all their gaming skills to save their spy parents who have been kidnapped by an evil man.” Netflix has also provided another synopsis for the upcoming reboot: “When the children of the world’s greatest secret agents unwittingly help a powerful Game Developer unleash a computer virus that gives him control of all technology, they must become spies themselves to save their parents and the world.” Two spy kids with their parents kidnapped resembles the setup of the first Spy Kids movie, with Tony and Patty being the new Juni and Carmen. It is unclear at this moment whether Spy Kids: Armageddon is a full total reboot or a soft reboot. People.com asked director Rodriguez about whether the new movie connects to Netflix’s We Can Be Heroes but declined to comment, adding that it’s “top secret.” Here’s some more first look images of the new movie: Picture: Netflix Picture: Netflix Picture: Netflix Picture: Netflix Picture: Netflix Picture: Netflix Who is cast in Spy Kids: Armageddon?
