Priyanka Chopra fans have a reason to cheer, as the actor has joined the superhero bandwagon with signing a Netflix sci-fi fantasy, titled We Can Be Heroes. The kid superhero feature will be written and directed by Spy Kids director Robert Rodriguez.

Along with Priyanka, the cast includes Christian Slater, Pedro Pascal, Boyd Holbrook and Sung Kang.

Not much has been revealed about the project, but it will see alien invaders kidnap Earth’s superheroes, as their children will team up to save their parents and the world.

Robert Rodriguez recently helmed Alita: Battle Angel, Spy Kids and Red 11. Priyanka Chopra will produce and star in an untitled wedding comedy set in India, co-produced by Mindy Kaling and Dan Goor for Universal. She’ll also be seen in The Sky is Pink, with Farhan Akhtar and Zaira Wasim. The film is based on the life of motivational speaker Aisha Chaudhary, and will premiere at Toronto International Film Festival.
