Here’s a synopsis: When alien invaders kidnap Earth’s superheroes, their kids are whisked away to a government safe house. But whip-smart tween Missy Moreno (YaYa Gosselin) will stop at nothing to rescue her superhero dad, Marcus Moreno (Pedro Pascal).
Missy teams up with the rest of the superkids to escape their mysterious government babysitter, Ms. Granada (Priyanka Chopra Jonas). If they’re going to save their parents, they’ll have to work together by using their individual powers — from elasticity to time control to predicting the future — and form an out-of-this-world team.

JJJ got to know more about Nathan with 10 Fun Facts – and even a bonus fact!
“One thing I share with my mom is a love of vintage shopping. She knows ALL the best spots in LA and we have a blast doing that together. And of course, I’m always on the lookout for rad 80’s threads,” Nathan told us.
Check out his 10 Fun Facts below:
- 1. Since my mom is French-Canadian, she wanted me to learn to speak French. So from pre-K through 5th grade, I attended a full-immersion French school in Los Angeles.
- 2.I was already way into filmmaking by 6th grade, so for middle school, I attended a Film Academy. It was an amazing 3 years and I got to make my first 7 short films there. Btw, I’m proud to say, all seven made it into film festivals.

- 4. I love trying to figure out how to play songs on the piano. Most of the time they are either Elton John or Queen songs. This Christmas, I also worked on learning the soundtrack to Charlie Brown Christmas by Vince Guaraldi Trio. I love those songs.
- 5. Okay, so, I do have this weird thing where any dial (temperature, volume, etc.) needs to be on a 0 or a 5. Like, it can’t be 44, I would change it to 45. I know, it’s a little Sheldon Cooper, but…
