The sequel to the 1996 animated film gets an official title!
The Space Jam sequel is titled Space Jam: A New Legacy.
The new title was revealed by NBA superstar LeBron James on Thursday. The Lakers player posted a video of himself wearing a hat with the logo of Space Jam: A New Legacy, which is the title of the Looney Tunes sequel.
Space Jam: A New Legacy will be directed by Night School helmer Malcolm D. Lee. According to an announcement made by Warner Bros. in February 2019, the film is set to premiere on July 16, 2021.
The original film starred NBA stars Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Larry Johnson, Shawn Bradley, and Muggsy Bogues alongside Bugs Bunny and his Looney Tunes gang. While it’s fair to assume that the sequel will star current NBA stars, no official announcement has been made.
