LeBron-led Space Jam 2 gets official release date

Share

On Thursday night, an official release date came out for Space Jam 2, starring LeBron James.

This is the first major update to come out about the much (or not at all depending on who you talk to) anticipated sequel to the 1996, Michael Jordan-led Space Jam since the producer and director was announced.

In late September it was announced that "Black Panther" director Ryan Coogler will produce and "An  Oversimplification of Her Beauty" director Terence Nance will direct Space Jam 2.

The announcement came from the LeBron James and Maverick Carter-led Springhill Entertainment.

With the director, producer and star of the film already in place, the biggest thing to look for in the long lead-up to the release is the rest of the supporting cast. 

As of now we know that we can expect to see the usual Looney Tunes characters, but there are no official updates on what other NBA players will be in the film. Based off of James' history, we can make an educated guess that some of his longtime NBA pals will be in the mix to make the cast.

But will any (other) Chicago Bulls—past or present—make the cast? And what of Evanston-native Bill Murray, who starred alongside His Airness in the original Space Jam?

Only time will tell, but for now get pumped (or upset) because Space Jam 2 is very, very real, and on July 16, 2021, we will get to see how it holds up to the GOAT-led original.
