The Space Jam sequel finally gets a title. 

It’s time to slam now because Space Jam 2 is officially Space Jam: A New Legacy.

The official title was revealed by NBA superstar LeBron James on Thursday. 

The Lakers player posted a video of himself Thursday wearing a hat with the logo of Space Jam: A New Legacy, the title of the Looney Tunes sequel. The film’s official Twitter page reposted the vid later that day, so we’ll take that as a confirmation. 

The sequel to the 1996 animated film is directed by Night School helmer Malcolm D. Lee.

The original film starred Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Larry Johnson, Shawn Bradley, and Muggsy Bogues. It’s safe to assume that the sequel will also star current NBA players, but now official castings have been announced.
