Accompanied by her literal grease-monkey companion, Captain Huggy Face (a CGI capuchin voiced by Dee Bradley Baker), Becky has spent years defeating low-stakes villains with the power of vocabulary and superhuman strength.However, the stakes escalate when Dr. Two-Brains (Nicolas Cage), a former brilliant scientist whose mind was fused with a lab mouse, discovers a way to "delete" words from the human consciousness using a Lexiconian artifact. As Fair City descends into linguistic chaos, Becky must team up with her estranged rival The Butcher (John Cena) to stop Two-Brains from rewriting reality. All the while, an omniscient, sarcastic Narrator (Will Arnett) breaks the fourth wall to comment on the absurdity of the "gritty reboot" tropes surrounding them.Cast and CharactersBrooklynn Prince as Becky Botsford / WordGirl: A 13-year-old alien with super-strength, flight, and an obsession with grammar.Will Arnett as The Narrator: An unseen entity who provides exposition and often bickers with the characters.Nicolas Cage as Dr. Steven "Two-Brains" Boxleitner: A mad scientist struggling with his rodent impulses. Cage reportedly stayed in character by eating aged cheddar on set.Awkwafina as Granny May: A deceptive career criminal who uses knitting-themed weaponry.Bill Hader as Chuck the Evil Sandwich-Making Guy: A villain who feels consistently disrespected by the "serious" tone of the new world.Tyrese Gibson as TJ Botsford: Becky’s oblivious but supportive father.ProductionDevelopmentThe project was first announced in 2023 when Warner Bros. acquired the film rights from Scholastic. The addition of Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes led to initial fan concern regarding the "dark and gritty" tone. Director Dave Green defended the vision, stating, "We wanted to treat Fair City like Gotham, but with a bright, Lexiconian color palette."FilmingPrincipal photography began in April 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. To achieve the "lexical visual effects," the production used a proprietary software that rendered giant 3D subtitles whenever WordGirl defined a word during a fight sequence.ReceptionThe film is scheduled for release on July 10, 2026. Early tracking suggests a strong opening weekend, with critics praising the "meta-commentary" provided by Will Arnett and the "unhinged brilliance" of Nicolas Cage’s performance."It shouldn't work—it’s a Michael Bay-produced movie about a girl who teaches kids the definition of 'adversity'—but the sheer commitment to the bit is staggering." — The Hollywood Reporter
