COMMENTARY: ‘Space Jam 2’ Finally Gets a Release Date, and We Can’t Wait
HOUSTON FORWARD TIMES — LeBron James will take over Michael Jordan’s role as a human basketball player who joins forces with the Looney Tunes.
After years in development and talks of a sequel, we can FINALLY say that Space Jam 2 is officially happening. LeBron James will take over Michael Jordan’s role as a human basketball player who joins forces with the Looney Tunes to win a basketball game against aliens. The sequel’s release date was officially announced by James’ production company, SpringHill Entertainment.
Space Jam 2 is officially coming to theaters on July 16, 2021. SpringHill Entertainment brought the news to life over on its Twitter account and posted a teaser to go alongside it. The post features basketball star LeBron James in the Tune Squad uniform, with Bugs Bunny and Lola Bunny standing beside him.
Interesting side note: Lola Bunny has top billing over Bugs Bunny on the poster. Is this a tease that she’s receiving a beefed up role in the sequel? She was the only prominent female character and she was heavily sexualized in the first film, so maybe they can stand to update her a bit.
For those who may not remember or been alive during the ‘90s, Space Jam was a live-action-animation hybrid that saw the Looney Tunes recruiting Michael Jordan to help them win a basketball game so that they wouldn’t be enslaved by an alien theme park. Yeah, it was pretty wild and there was nothing else like it in 1996, which likely led to it becoming so nostalgic for fans today.
Not only that, but the movie will be filming this summer. LeBron James confirmed as much during this video posted by The Crossover on Twitter.
This is no doubt exciting for fans who are nostalgic for Space Jam The first Space Jam had a lot of athlete cameos, including Bill Murray, who had the funniest part in the movie. I’d wager Space Jam 2 will also feature cameos from today’s most popular athletes.
Space Jam 2 is directed by Terence Nance with Justin Lin and Ryan Coogler onboard as producers. The sequel is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters on July 16, 2021.
