That project has become a huge hit for the streaming giant since its release in 2001. The original series had four installments before Rodriguez moved to Netflix, where they had an animated series before rebooting now. Last year, Rodriguez revealed he had cast Zachary Levi (Chuck) and Gina Rodrigues (Jane he Virgin) as the main kids' parents."My most rabid fanbase all these years, by far, has been my kid films. My&nbsp;Spy Kids&nbsp;audience," Rodriguez&nbsp;previously shared&nbsp;at Cinema-Con. "These kids watch those movies over and over because they're action films made for children and families, in particular at a time when they need empowerment. Netflix came to me [for&nbsp;We Can Be Heroes] because the&nbsp;Spy Kids&nbsp;movies had done just so well on their service. They said 'Could you make a series of films that do that?' And I said, 'I'd love to!'"The original&nbsp;Spy Kids&nbsp;film was released over 20 years ago, and surprised moviegoers by earning $112 million at the domestic box office. The movie starred Antonio Banderas, Carla Gugino, Alexa PenaVega, Daryl Sabara, Alan Cumming, Tony Shalhoub, Teri Hatcher, Cheech Marin, and Danny Trejo. In fact, it was&nbsp;Spy Kids&nbsp;that launched Rodriguez's hyper-violent&nbsp;Machete&nbsp;films, which saw Trejo reprising his&nbsp;Spy Kids&nbsp;character in a much different way.&nbsp;Spy Kids: Armageddon&nbsp;is set to hit Netflix on September 22.Start the Conversation
