Michael Jordan and the Looney Tunes' epic adventure in Space Jam is a large source of nostalgia for many readers of this website. The movie debuted all the way back in 1996 and to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the film, LeBron James is picking up where Jordan left off. For the last couple of years, a second Space Jam starring LeBron has been in the works, and in the summer of 2021, it is set to make it to the big screen.
Today, LeBron took to social media where he showed off his latest piece of Space Jam gear, which just so happened to have the official logo of the new movie. A brand new Twitter account called @spacejammovie confirmed the validity of the new merchandise, thus confirming the fact that the sequel is being called Space Jam: A New Legacy. In fact, a poster for the movie has just been revealed, as well.
As one would imagine, fans are pretty split on what they are seeing here. Some feel as though this poster and title are a great representation of what James is about to bring to the series, while others are already writing this movie off as a cash-grab. Clearly, not everyone is excited for a sequel although those people can speak for themselves.
This writer will be among those in line the first day the movie comes out.
LeBron James Updates Fans On "Space Jam 2" Amid Pandemic
LeBron James made sure to give his fans insight on what’s happening with the new “Space Jam” movie.
If you’re a basketball fan, Space Jam probably holds a very special place in your heart. The movie came out in 1996 and featured the likes of Michael Jordan. Now, LeBron James is helping reboot the series with Space Jam 2. The movie was slated to drop in the summer of 2021 but with the Coronavirus pandemic getting out of control, some fans are fearing that production could come to a halt.
During an appearance on ESPN’s Road Trippin’ podcast, LeBron was asked about the movie’s production and whether or not the filmmakers were still on schedule despite everything that’s happening. James noted that since a lot of it is animated, everything should be good to go although production has slowed down now that the entire world is on lockdown.

“Space Jam has always been scheduled to come out in June of 2021,” James said. “So we’re kind of (OK). And a lot of it right now is animation so being indoors is actually great for us. So, we’re still on. Just like everything in the world, everything is slowed down a little bit, but we’re still on target. I’m looking forward to it. During this time right now, I wish we could release it right now, man, and give people some things to watch in their households. But we got until next year, next summer. We’re excited about it.”
Space Jam 2 is a movie a lot of us have been anticipating so hopefully it comes out on time. By next summer, we’re all going to need some solid entertainment to forget about this mess.
