Space Jam 2

Space Jam: A New Legacy is an upcoming American live-action/animated sports comedy film directed by Malcolm D. Lee, serving as a standalone sequel to Space Jam. It will mark the first theatrically-released film to feature the Looney Tunes characters since Looney Tunes: Back in Action, and like the previous hybrid films, it will be a combination of live-action, traditional hand-drawn animation, and 3D CGI effects. The film stars basketball player LeBron James as a fictionalized version of himself along with Don Cheadle, Khris Davis, and Sonequa Martin-Green in live-action roles, while Jeff Bergman, Eric Bauza, and Zendaya headline the Looney Tunes voice cast. Talks for a Space Jam successor began after the release of the first film, which Joe Pytka would have returned to direct. Spike Brandt and Tony Cervone signed on as the animation supervisors, but eventually the deal fell through due to Michael Jordan's refusal to return.
