The Hollywood Reporter brings news that there are already plans for a sequel to Robert Rodriquez's new superhero film for kids, We Can Be Heroes. The project is in active development, and comes after a successful holiday season for Netflix thanks to a notable bump in subscribers.
The streamer, which records data based on just two minutes of viewing, reveals that December 25 - December 31 saw the service record its biggest viewership numbers ever for that holiday period.
Netflix added 28 million subscribers in the first three financial quarters of 2020, and 44 million households watched We Can Be Heroes during its first 28 days on the service. It's no wonder, then, that the plan now is to move forward with a sequel featuring these colorful superheroes.
Taking characters from Rodriguez's Spy Kids franchise and The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl, We Can Be Heroes follows the children of Earth's superheroes after their parents are kidnapped by alien invaders. Rodriguez wrote, directed, and produced this first installment, and will return to take on the same roles for the sequel.
There's no release date yet, and Rodriguez will likely need to finish working on The Book of Boba Fett before he can start shooting this untitled We Can be Heroes sequel.
