Sharkboy and Lavagirl will be in the film as well; however, only Taylor Dooley has reclaimed her role as Lavagirl.

This sequel follows a group of children, including Sharkboy and Lavagirl’s daughter, that works to save their parents from an alien invasion. Their daughter is seen having similar powers as her parents, calling upon sharks and sea creatures to assist her in battling enemies.

The film is directed by Robert Rodriguez, who is also the director of the Spy Kids movies. Rodriguez is a San Antonio native.
