Netflix, Skydance, and Spyglass release the first trailer for Robert Rodriguez’s highly-anticipated reboot, “Spy Kids: Armageddon.” The filmmaker returns to the franchise that captured hearts worldwide at the start of the 2000s with a fresh twist and a new cast.
Zachary Levi, known for his role in “Shazam,” takes the lead alongside Gina Rodriguez from “Jane the Virgin,” Everly Carganilla of “The Afterparty” fame, and newcomer Connor Esterson. Together, they form the new family at the centre of this action-packed film.
The story kicks off when the children of the world’s greatest secret agents inadvertently aid a powerful game developer in unleashing a malevolent computer virus. This virus grants him control over all technology, pushing the young heroes to step up as spies to save not only their parents but also the fate of the world.
Rodriguez wears multiple hats as he co-writes, directs, and produces this exciting reboot. The film is backed by a talented production team featuring David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Elizabeth Avellan, and Don Granger.
The original “Spy Kids” franchise, starring Antonio Banderas, Carla Gugino, Alexa Vega, and Daryl Sabara, was a massive hit, grossing over $550 million worldwide across four films from 2001 to 2011. Now, Rodriguez is set to introduce a new generation of viewers to the thrilling world of espionage, gadgets, and family bonds.
For fans of the franchise, this is a chance to revisit the beloved universe, while newcomers can look forward to an exhilarating ride filled with humour, action, and heart. Rodriguez previously produced an animated series based on the films for Netflix in 2018, and now, “Spy Kids: Armageddon” is set to stream on Netflix starting September 22nd.
Mark your calendars and prepare for a family-friendly cinematic journey that promises to deliver all the excitement and entertainment that made the original “Spy Kids” series a household favourite. The countdown to “Spy Kids: Armageddon” has officially begun!
