In a report from Collider, Robert Rodriquez will officially be back to be the writer and director of the sequel of We Can Be Heroes which will be coming on Netflix next year. He shared, "they've been shocked at how well it's kept doing. They call it unstoppable. They've never seen any movie behave like that. It just will not stop. Kids will just not stop watching it."

Rodriquez added, "the completion rate was really high, but also the repeat rate was just off the charts because kids just will watch it in the morning before school and after school every day. So yeah, they definitely want a sequel, which I'm working on, because it's a new franchise for them. That behaves very differently. But kids crave empowerment and those movies just hit those buttons."

We Can Be Heroes is a superhero family film that follows that of The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl released in 2005. It focuses on Missy Moreno, daughter of Marcus Moreno, and leader of the heroics. The heroics are the heroes of the community and their children were sent into a protection chamber following an alien attack that took down the Heroics.
