Space Jam 2 is totally happening and we can't help but to jump up and down!
If you don't remember the first Space Jam starring NBA legend, Michael Jordan, don't worry! NME reported that "Space Jam 2 will be a reboot and not a sequel." But this time, starring basketball icon, LeBron James, as "small forward," with Bugs Bunny co-starring as "point guard"!

SpringHill Entertainment posted new details about the highly-anticipated follow-up on their Instagram account. The post shows a locker room and also reveals that Terrence Nance will direct the movie and Black Panther's Ryan Coogler will be a producer.
LeBron confirmed the news to The Hollywood Reporter, "The Space Jam collaboration is so much more than just me and the Looney Tunes getting together and doing this movie."

"It's so much bigger. I'd just love for kids to understand how empowered they can feel and how empowered they can be if they don't just give up on their dreams. And I think Ryan did that for a lot of people."
Production on the movie is "tentatively slated" to start in 2019 during the NBA off-season. And if the Instagram post is any indication, the movie is looking at 23rd January 2021 as a release date.

We're sure it'll be worth the wait!
