The original 1996 animated and live-action Space Jam follows Michael Jordan as he helps the Looney Tunes win a basketball game against a group of alien bullies. In the follow-up film, the Lakers legend takes over the lead role.
In Space Jam: A New Legacy, LeBron’s onscreen son Dom’s tech s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s get him and the athlete sucked into an entertainment server by a CGI humanoid, who wants to steal some of LeBron’s social media followers. To escape from the virtual world in which they’re trapped, LeBron gathers the Looney Tunes for a basketball game.
“It’s one of the biggest games, if not the biggest game, I’ve ever played in,” the athlete told Entertainment Weekly earlier this year. “The Goon Squad is probably the best team ever assembled in basketball history.”
The film is directed by Malcolm D. Lee and produced by Black Panther director Ryan Coogler.
