Space Jam 2 will hit theaters on on July, 16, 2021—25 years after the original 1996 hit film featuring Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny came out–SpringHill Entertainment announced Thursday.
Lakers star LeBron James and Black Panther director Ryan Coogler are teaming up to create the project. The long-anticipated live action/animated comedy is slated for production during the 2019 NBA offseason.
SpringHill Entertainment announced that the studio was officially taking on the project last September. The film will mark James's first starring movie role since his 2015 appearance in Trainwreck.
