That's the only source I see that lists Haley (and near the end). The role is big enough though they flew Haley to Austin and put her up in a nice hotel (I think it might be a fairly new boutique hotel given its location). And Jay joined her - that might have been of his own volition though since he's such a fan of the Hollywood scene.

In casting extras they were very specific about height. 

August: 

We are in need of CLEAN CUT Military type

TALL Men and Women to be EXTRAS in a Robert Rodriguez film. The men who submit should be 6’0″ or taller. And the Women should be 5’7” or taller.

June

"*****STAND IN Casting Call*******
Paid opportunity in AUSTIN Texas for a Robert Rodriguez film

What we are looking for:
Men and women ages 18+ and up, who are UNDER 5’5”. We need all ethnicities. But for the hair color we are specifically looking for brown,or dark blonde"

Description of movie used:

“A young girl, the daughter of a retired superhero, discovers that she has powers and puts together a group of other young heroes to help stop an alien invasion.”

It was originally expected to begin filming in June.

And GREAT role! That’s all I say! NOT a cameo

What kind of role do you think it is? Haley wasn't in town that long. Then again, Rodriguez's shooting style is fast-paced. Comment on his last big feature film, which started as a James Cameron project:

That's where filming in Austin – with a crew he knew on locations he had already scouted and in his home base of Troublemaker Studios – played to his strengths: shooting lean and mean. "We shot (Alita: Battle Angel) in 57 days," he said. "It made their heads spin. I did what I had to, to stay in Austin. Even Jim said this movie would have cost twice as much money if he had directed it. So I made a Jim Cameron movie for half the price."

This wasn't just about saving money, but about the spontaneity of his guerrilla style. "I just shot faster, because I found from my early low-budget days that actors do their best work when they're not spending all day on a one-minute scene – when they can just give a real, vital performance."

The Instagram link in HDW's Twitter profile leads to one of Haley's young costars in We Can Be Heroes. The Twitter account appears to belong to an adult. Possibly her mother.

IMDb doesn't yet list Haley Reinhart among the cast and crew of "We Can Be Heroes," but it does list her stunt double.
