'Sharkboy and Lavagirl' Are Coming Back to Netflix

Dynamic duo Sharkboy and Lavagirl are coming back to our screens, but will it's in the form of a sequel? Read on for extra at the upcoming film.

There are some movies that marvel everyone with how neatly they do on the box place of business or how all at once it becomes a cult vintage. Sharkboy and Lavagirl is one of those films that shocked everybody with the original kid-adventure movie that did not do neatly in theaters, but grew it's cult following. 

Sharkboy and Lavagirl is a movie that, for people of a certain era, in reality spoke to them — and now other people are questioning if a Sharkboy and Lavagirl sequel is coming. Not yet, but they are coming back, this time to Netflix.  

There's no 'Sharkboy and Lavagirl' sequel, yet.

While the announcement made on July 24 wasn't targeted on Sharkboy and Lavagirl sequel information, they are coming back to Netflix. Writer and director Robert Rodriguez has announced that the characters are making their means back to Netflix. Not in their own movie, however in every other one that Robert is working on. 

According to Collider, Netflix has introduced Robert on to direct We Can Be Heroes, a superhero movie starring Pedro Pascal and Priyanka Chopra. According to the filmmaker, the approaching movie is "like an Avengers team but they all have kids." 

The web site says that a little bit ago, Robert shared that We Can Be Heroes will display the return of an grownup model of Sharkboy and Lavagirl characters. “Sharkboy and Lavagirl show up as superhero folks who now have a daughter who has shark and lava powers," he said. He later clarified that "the only speaking position is for Lavagirl," but that's OK with us! 

There hasn't been any official word from Netflix or Robert to say that the original actors of Sharkboy, played by Taylor Lautner, or Lavagirl, played by Taylor Dooley, would reprise their roles of the superheroes in We Can Be Heroes.  

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Robert said that Taylor Dooley "seems incredible" adding that she "stepped into her own sequel as Lavagirl." If that's not a huge hint that she's going to be reprising her role as Lavagirl, we're not sure what else would be. There were no hints dropped as to whether Taylor Lautner would be in the movie, and given it's not a speaking role, it could go either way. 

'We Can Be Heroes' is filled with superpowered kids.

Robert says that there have been several challenges when it came to casting a film that is full of superpowered preteens, but they're making it work – pandemic and all. 

"It used to be probably the most difficult film I’d ever finished as a result of, any director is aware of, essentially the most challenging scene is like a dinner scene where you got a lot of people," he said. "The entire film I were given eleven superhero kids in each shot. Trying to figure out how to film that used to be implausible."

While we can't wait to meet all of the kids in We Can Be Heroes, we think we can all agree that we're maximum excited to see Sharkboy and Lavagirl's child.
