New Spy Kids Adventure

Is it playtime—or a real mission? That’s the hook of Spy Kids: Armageddon, the latest chapter from director Robert Rodriguez in his family spy franchise.

This marks the fifth film and introduces an entirely new ensemble, but the story keeps some familiar beats: the Organization of Super Spies is still active, and heroism appears to be hereditary.

When a rogue video-game creator unleashes a virus that lets him hijack every device, a brother-and-sister pair learn their parents are top-tier secret agents and must pick up spy skills fast.

Luckily, the kids’ gaming expertise could be the very edge they need as they race to stop tech-controlled chaos.

The new Spy Kids arrives on Netflix on Sept. 22—catch the fresh cast and the next generation of gadget-filled family adventure when it premieres.

Introducing Nora Torrez: The Spy Mom Balancing Secrets and Family

Gina Rodriguez brings to life the complex character of Nora Torrez, a mother with an extraordinary secret – she's an international superspy. Unlike typical overprotective parents, Nora has specialized training and high-tech gadgets at her disposal, creating a unique dynamic within her family.

The character faces a significant moral dilemma throughout the story, wrestling with whether to reveal her true profession to her children. This internal conflict drives much of her character development until circumstances eventually force her hand.

Behind the scenes, Rodriguez and filmmaker Robert Rodriguez (no family relation) had been eager to collaborate for more than ten years. Their partnership finally materialized in this project, making it a long-anticipated creative union.

In a remarkable coincidence, when the director first approached Gina about portraying Nora, he jokingly mentioned that the role might trigger her maternal instincts. Unbeknownst to both, she was already two weeks pregnant, discovering this news shortly after their conversation.

This created a special situation where Rodriguez performed all her action sequences, including intricate sword fighting, while actually pregnant. The director noted how meaningful it will be for her son to one day watch his mother's performance, knowing he was present for every thrilling moment.

Audiences may recognize Rodriguez from her acclaimed work in "Jane the Virgin," her voice acting in "Big Mouth," and her performances in films like "Miss Bala" and "Deepwater Horizon."

When Patty Tango-Torrez steps into action, she’s the careful one of the sibling spy pair — brave, but deliberate, always weighing a move before she makes it.

Played by Everly Carganilla, Patty becomes the duo’s conscience and strategist as the children race to rescue their parents and stop a global threat.

Carganilla was only eight when she won the part, the same age as Connor Esterson, who plays her brother Tony. The young pair trained for the role, with Patty emerging as the cool-headed problem-solver who balances heart and courage.

Director Robert Rodriguez has shared a private clip Everly’s dad sent him: the moment she learned she’d been cast. Her joyful reaction — jumping, laughing and tearful — underlined how big the role felt to a child, akin to an adult landing a dream franchise part.

Everly’s résumé already includes credits like Yes Day and The Afterparty, and now she anchors this new generation of Spy Kids.

Now streaming on Netflix.

Tony Tango-Torrez is the rule-bending half of the sibling spy duo.

He’s the kid who spots a loophole and can’t resist slipping through it, all with a mischievous smile.

That impulsive streak drives the story — Tony’s decision to play a video game his dad had locked away accidentally unleashes a dangerous tech virus that could spell global trouble.

Newcomer Connor Esterson plays Tony, bringing lively mischief and a fearless “what could go wrong?” energy to the role.

Director Robert Rodriguez looks for children who are sharp, emotionally present and genuinely funny — rare traits among young auditionees.

He says he struck gold with Esterson and co-star Carganilla, who rose well above the competition.

This movie is Esterson’s feature-film debut.

Rey Kingston — a flamboyant tech billionaire who answers to “the King” — is the sleek antagonist at the center of Spy Kids: Armageddon.

He’s a celebrated video-game creator whose latest product, a hit title called Hyskor, conceals a far darker purpose.

Rather than waging an obvious war, Kingston’s scheme uses the game as a digital Trojan horse, slipping into the Tango-Torrez family’s systems and triggering widespread cyber-chaos.

Billy Magnussen brings the role to life, portraying a charismatic executive convinced his inventions can reshape society for the better.

Director Robert Rodriguez describes him as a very contemporary kind of villain: someone certain technology can solve everyone’s problems, and who is ultimately misguided rather than purely evil.

True to the Spy Kids spirit, the conflict isn’t only about defeating the villain; the kids’ innocence and courage push Kingston toward a chance at redemption.

Magnussen’s recent credits include Into the Woods, Game Night, Ingrid Goes West, and Maniac.

Watch his performance and the rest of the film now on Netflix.

The next chapter of the beloved 'Spy Kids' franchise introduces viewers to a fresh generation of young secret agents. Following in the footsteps of Carmen and Juni Cortez, these new recruits bring their own unique talents to the world of espionage.

The casting directors have assembled an impressive team of young actors who combine athletic ability with genuine on-screen charisma. During rigorous auditions, candidates demonstrated skills ranging from martial arts to problem-solving under pressure – essential qualities for any spy-in-training.

Behind the scenes, the production team has incorporated cutting-edge technology to create gadgets that balance fantastical elements with just enough plausibility to captivate young audiences. The film's director emphasized creating tools that children could imagine actually using in their own adventures.

Family remains at the heart of the story, with the script exploring how these young operatives balance normal childhood experiences with their extraordinary responsibilities. The writers have crafted dialogue that resonates with both children and the parents who grew up with the original films.

This reboot aims to honor the playful spirit of the earlier movies while introducing themes relevant to today's tech-savvy youth. Fans can expect the perfect blend of nostalgia and innovation when these new Spy Kids accept their first mission.
