Comment: Plenty of routine announcements about its launch and cast but nothing that amounts to significant coverage. Also just started filming in June and there is no release date I can see. CNMall41 (talk) 03:57, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

But Frank’s grief is interrupted when he learns his only inheritance, a seemingly worthless parcel of land on the border, sits atop the lair of a famous costumed vigilante — his father, “El Gato.” Now, Frank is in the crosshairs. To survive, he’ll have to solve mysteries decades in the making and unravel the truth about his father’s connections to a modern-day terror plot.[2][1]
