For the sequel, LeBron James is replacing Michael Jordan, playing a heightened version of himself, who struggles to connect with his tech-savvy son Dom (Ceyair J. Wright). While trying to steal some of the basketball player’s social media followers, a CGI humanoid named Al G Rhythm (Don Cheadle) sucks the duo into a virtual reality called the “Warner 3000 entertainment Server-verse”. In order for Dom to escape the Server-verse, James must defeat the Goon Squad. To take on the challenge, James reunites the Toon Squad, which includes Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Lola Bunny, Marvin the Martian, Porky Pig, Roadrunner, and the rest of the Looney Tunes.

This film will be the first theatrically released one to feature the Looney Tunes characters since 2003’s Looney Tunes: Back in Action.

The cast includes Zendaya, Khris Davis, Sonequa Martin-Green, and Cedric Joe. Many NBA and WNBA players will be making cameo appearances, including Anthony Davis, Damian Lillard, Klay Thompson, Diana Taurasi, and Nneka Ogwumike.

Space Jam: A New Legacy is set to be released on HBO Max and in theatres on July 16. Check out the trailer below.

Malcolm D. Lee will take over for Terence Nance in the sequel to the 1996 hit that starred Michael Jordan. According to multiple outlets, Nance’s exit from the project was due to the filmmaker and the studio’s different takes on the creative vision for the sequel.

The original film also starred NBA stars Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, and Patrick Ewing and saw Jordan and Bugs Bunny and the rest of the Looney Tunes characters win a basketball match against a group of aliens.

Production had already been underway when the studio announced Tuesday that Lee has boarded the project.

News of the sequel’s new helmer follows news of Don Cheadle’s casting in Space Jam 2. 

Lee’s directorial credits include Girls Trip, Night School, and Barbershop: The Final Cut.

Don Cheadle has been tapped to star in Warner Bros’ sequel to the 1996 hit, which is currently in production.

While Cheadle’s casting has been confirmed, no further details are known about which role he’s set to play.

Cheadle joins LeBron James in the follow-up to the original that starred Michael Jordan and featured cameos from a number of NBA all-stars who starred alongside classic Looney Tunes characters. The original was a major hit grossing over $230M at the global box office. 

Cheadle currently stars in the 1980s-set Showtime comedy Black Monday. He also starred in the second-biggest-grossing film of all time, Avengers: Endgame. His upcoming projects include the sci-fi drama series Don’t Look Deeper for Quibi.

The reboot directed by Terence Nance opens in theaters July 16, 2021.

The follow-up to the 1996 live-action movie which starred Michael Jordan will be directed by Terence Nance, who directed Random Acts of Flyness’. People assumed that Space Jam 2 would be a sequel to the original cult classic but speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Maverick Carter has revealed that it will actually be a reboot.

Carter, filmmaker and LeBron James’ childhood friend said: “There’s already been one that was good, we gotta make a film that’s great.”

He also admitted that he hopes Michael Jordan will consider returning, seeing as he starred in the original.

“Hopefully there will be a role for Michael if he wants it… But Michael Jordan is Michael Jordan,” he said. “It doesn’t matter [if LeBron] calls him, he’s gonna do what the hell he wants, which he has earned that right to do.”

He added: “LeBron and Michael are not sitting around talking about Space Jam.”

The Spice Girls were still together, Michael Jordan was the best basketball player in the world, and R. Kelly believed he could fly.

And the last two items on that list came together in the hit movie, Space Jam.

The film merged animation and live action to bring us a story about Michael being enlisted by Bugs Bunny and other members of the Looney Tunes to help them win an intergalactic basketball game against a team of mean aliens.

Fast forward 22 years where it has now been announced that a sequel to Space Jam is on the cards!

Michael Jordan is no longer the MVP — replaced, instead, by LeBron James who will also produce.

The film will also be produced by Black Panther filmmaker, Ryan Coogler, while Terence Nance of Random Acts of Flyness is set to direct.

Let’s hope they’ve been practising their shooting skills!
