SPACE JAM: A NEW LEGACY
LeBron James + Zendaya Hit 3's
In 1996, basketball’s most popular athlete hit the big screen with WB’s most prized cartoon characters. Come July, over 20 years later, the face of the NBA present-day will now don that very honor.
With the release of the recent trailer!, the hype to Space Jam 2 is underway. And heading the cast is LeBron James.
In the teaser, the Laker forward gets held captive in search of his son, Dom. Immersed in a multiverse, the reigning Finals MVP will have to beat all odds to get back home.
His opposition? Basketball stars in Laker Anthony Davis, Blazer guard Damien Lillard, and Phoenix Mercury guard Diana Taurasi amongst many others.
At the command of Al-G Rhythm, the role reprised by Don Chedle, LeBron’s teammates were hand picked.
The teammates? Akin to the film’s predecessor, the Toon Squad.
Flanked with Bugs and the crew, the band of characters assemble in their world along w/ the King to show their stuff.
Just… don’t ask Yosemite Sam to “shoot.” Bad for your health.
The cast is star-studded, from the hoopers all the way down to the voice actors for the WB legends, ushering in cameos for even more animated legends on screen. Famous Looney Tunes and Hanna-Barbara voice actor Jeff Bergman will portray Bugs Bunny, as well as Sylvester, Foghorn Leghorn, and Fred Flintstone. Fellow voice actors Eric Bauza and Jim Cummings will portray Daffy Duck and the Tasmanian Devil respectively.
Comedian Gabriel Iglesias will be Speedy Gonzales. Lola Bunny will be reprised by Zendaya. The Euphoria star fresh off of her Netflix film Malcolm and Marie will grace the big screen as the bunny who gets it done on the court.
Let’s hope for James’ sake, she’ll be enough to hold fort down. This summer, we’ll find out.
