We recently got a first official look at Robert Rodriguez's new Netflix superhero flick, We Can Be Heroes, via some promo stills, and the first teaser trailer is now online.

The footage begins with a superhero team known as The Heroics being taken down and captured by alien invaders, and the heroes' children - the daughter of Sharkboy and Lavagirl among them - banding together to rescue their parents.

Pedro Pascal stars as the leader of a team of supes, who's daughter Missy (YaYa Gosselin) rounds up 10 fellow super-powered youngsters to rescue the group when they're abducted. Christian Slater (Mr. Robot), Boyd Holbrook (Logan), and Sung Kang (The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift) will play some of the other heroes, while Priyanka Chopra is on villain duty.

We Can Be Heroes is set to premiere on Netflix on New Years Day. Check out some of the previously released images below!

Here we see Logan actor Boyd Holbrook as an unnamed Heroic member being captured by what appears to be a giant robot.

“A lot of families have spent a lot of time together,” Rodriguez explains to EW when asked why he chose We Can Be Heroes as his next project. “I’ve been getting calls from all kinds of studios: ‘Reboot Spy Kids.’ ‘Reboot Sharkboy.’ Of course they want to. They’re all sitting at home with their kids.”

Pedro Pascal as Marcus Moreno, who is on the verge of retirement when his team is kidnapped.

“I’ve wanted to work with Pedro since forever,” Rodriguez says. “[Marcus] can be a badass if he needs to. He takes the glasses off, and he looks legit.”

Prianka Chopra as the mysterious Ms. Gradenko. Is she playing the villain? Based on this pic, it's probably a safe enough assumption.

Missy and her crew. We don't know much about any of the other young heroes, but one of 'em is named Facemaker, and has the ability to alter his appearance. “[For] a kid, that’s an amazing power,” says Rodriguez. “What if you could become anyone else?”

We Can Be Heroes doesn't have a premiere date yet.

I think it's important to remember this is a kid's film. I've said before, I really like Rodriquez's films but I know his kids stuff just isn't for me. Not a bad thing. I do love the first two Spy Kids films though. My girlfriend was really excited about this one though so I guess I'll be watching it at some point :')

I do wish he would concentrate on more adult stuff though, I miss films like Desperado or Sin City (first, not second).

All I'll say is... I can see why Taylor Lautner opted out.

@Se4M4NSt4ine - You clearly don't know what a B movie is and who Robert Rodriguez is.

Bad Rodriguez! Bad!

Like his adult films but only the first Spy Kids was decent. The rest of his children films are painful to my eyes

The cast looks fun and Robert Rodriguez is always atleast worth a try, and with this coming to Netflix I'm definitely gonna give it that

Looks cheesy but I remember when flicks like this seemed to come out every other week
It was actually RR bread and butter for awhile.
