Behind the scenes
Rodriguez began to conceive the story of the fourth part of "Agent Prodigy" when he was filming "Scimitar". This time, Rodriguez ended his three-part collaboration with Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino, and invited actress Jessica, who had a dazzling performance in "Sin City" Alba as the heroine of the film. Because it was Jessica who inspired his story. At that time, Jessica happened to be holding her one-year-old daughter, Ona Marie Warren, on the set of "Scimitar", and encountered Ona's diaper "explosion" incident. Watching Jessica carefully changing her daughter's diaper and preventing the dirt from sticking to her body, Rodriguez thought "why not make a spy mom story".

And when it comes to the hardest part, it's got to be the quirky gadgets, because I've implemented a lot of ideas in the first three, It feels like I've used up all the fun stuff in my head." Speaking of the lighthearted series since the violent aesthetic of "The Killing Trilogy," Rodriguez says it's actually an unexpected product. When he did the first part, he had to split the story into two parts because the script contained so many things, but the third and fourth parts were all "unthinkable things". When he made the fourth part, the big challenge he faced came from "how to make this story continue to escalate and try to finish it like the finale." However, there will be some of the first script in the new film. Stuff—that is, something that didn't appear in the previous installments due to budget and time issues. Such as the very eye-catching robot dog...
