A post shared by LYON (@lyondanielsofficial)

Superkids were *made* to save the world, and that's exactly what Lyon Daniels is doing. 

We Can Be Heroes is a new Netflix adventure film that follows a group of  kids with *amazing* superpowers that go on a mission to save the world. 

After Earth's superheroes are kidnapped by space aliens (including grown-up Shark Boy and Lava Girl!), they're sent to a government safehouse. The superkids team up to escape from their mysterious government babysitter by using the superpowers their parents gave to them.

In his first feature film *ever*, Lyon plays a kid with his own superpower who joined the superkids in the fight against alien invaders. 

Girls' Life got the chance to chat with Lyon to get the inside scoop on his latest film!

GL: In your opinion, what's the *best* part of the movie?

Lyon: When our parents get captured—they're really exciting scenes and they set up the plot for the rest of the movie. 

GL: What's your fave scene you filmed in "We Can Be Heroes"?

Lyon: It would definitely be the scene where I had to jump out of the moving tram, flip it up in the air with my stretchy arms and save my fellow Heroics!

GL: What's your dream superpower?

Lyon: Actually, I already have my dream superpower—my character in "We Can Be Heroes" has super stretch abilities. I think the ability to stretch and change my shape is a really cool power to have.

GL: Which superhero do you look up to and why?

Lyon: I look up to Black Panther because he's an African American superhero and I can relate to him. I think it's really important for all races to be represented and to have someone that everyone can look up to. 

GL: How are you spending your holiday break? What's your fave tradition?

Lyon: I'll be relaxing with my family and watching my movie on Christmas Day! I'm so excited for the world to see it and meet the Heroics! My favorite tradition is baking cookies. I plan to bake and eat as many as I can.

GL: What's next for you in the new year?

Lyon: I'm super excited to see what the future holds. I plan to continue actively auditioning for really cool and exciting projects. Let's gooo 2021!

Netflix's "We Can Be Heroes" premieres on December 25!
