"'Shazam' meets 'Miss Bala' – now that's a mashup we've all been waiting for," an industry insider commented.

Uniting Forces: Levi and Rodriguez

This exciting pairing isn't the first time Levi and Rodriguez have teamed up; they previously portrayed Joseph and Mary in the animated feature 'The Star.' They step into the shoes originally filled by Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino in the 'Spy Kids' series.

A New Generation of Spies

Joining the ranks alongside Levi and Rodriguez in the fifth 'Spy Kids' installment are budding talents Everly Carganilla and Connor Esterson, slated to portray the titular characters. The film pivots around these young protagonists, the offspring of "the world's greatest secret agents." When a devious game developer unleashes a threatening computer virus, the kids inadvertently aid in his quest to control all technology. With their parents—and the world—in peril, the children morph into spies themselves.

“It's about time the world had some new spy kids," said Zachary Levi, expressing his excitement over the new storyline.

The collaboration between Robert Rodriguez, the original creator, and Racer Max, his son and regular collaborator, is sure to bring an infusion of fresh ideas and a dynamic twist to this fan-favorite franchise. This release, aimed at saving the world one more time, is certain to deliver high-stakes family entertainment on Netflix.
