We Can Be Heroes Official Trailer Reunites The Mandalorian's Pedro Pascal with Robert Rodriguez


It's really happening: We Can Be Heroes is the sequel to Robert Rodriguez's The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D and it just got an official trailer featuring The Mandalorian star Pedro Pascal.

The trailer for We Can Be Heroes opens with Missy Moreno revealing that the world has always been protected by the Heroics, a team of superheroes that includes her own father Marcus Moreno (Pascal). However, things quickly go awry as the Heroics are kidnapped by aliens.

Not surprisingly, the children of the Heroics are then taken by the government to keep them safe. However, as the children bond, they also realize they are their parents' only hope. Can the superhero kids save the Heroics or will the mysterious Ms. Granada stand in their way?

The trailer for We Can Be Heroes has been dropped at a truly fitting time. After all, Rodriguez's episode for The Mandalorian Season 2 has just been released and it's causing Star Wars fans to be interested in the filmmaker. Needless to say, we're loving the idea that Rodriguez and Pascal have two awesome projects to boast about today.

The synopsis for We Can Be Heroes reads as follows:

"When alien invaders kidnap Earth's superheroes, their kids are whisked away to a government safe house. But whip-smart tween Missy Moreno (Yaya Gosselin) will stop at nothing to rescue her superhero dad, Marcus Moreno (Pedro Pascal). Missy teams up with the rest of the superkids to escape their mysterious government babysitter, Ms. Granada (Priyanka Chopra Jonas). If they're going to save their parents, they'll have to work together by using their individual powers — from elasticity to time control to predicting the future — and form an out-of-this-world team."

We Can Be Heroes will premiere on Netflix on January 1, 2021.
