When I say that Spy Kids convinced me I'd grow up to be a spy, I am not kidding — I genuinely thought I was going to be a spy for a good portion of my childhood, thanks to the 2001 classic. (Plus, the scene in Spy Kids 2 where Alexa PenaVega's Carmen fights off the bad guys in a gorgeous dress with...spoons? Exactly the kind of random action sequence I'm looking for in my summer movies).
At the end of July, we got our first look at the new installment in the franchise: Spy Kids: Armageddon. The movie has some amazing names, and Robert Rodriguez is back as director! Here's everything we know about the film.
What is Spy Kids 5 about?
When the kids of the world's best spies unknowingly help a game developer unleash a mega computer virus, they accidentally allow him to take control of all technology. Now, it's up to Patty and Tony to take on the mantle of Spy Kids, save their parents, and save the world. No pressure.

The last few years has rebooted a ton of stories we loved in the early 2000s. Last year we got National Treasure: Edge of History (just a head's up, if you have littles interested in Spy Kids: Armegeddon, this show is geared towards tweens and teens), and Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again, both on Disney+.
Netflix also just gave us We Can Be Heroes, which isn't an official The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl sequel, but does star Lava Girl herself, Taylor Dooley, as well as The Last of Us' Pedro Pascal.
Oh, and don't forget that you can rent Spy Kids, Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams, Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over, and Spy Kids: All The Time In The World on Amazon too.
