James’ production company, Springhill Entertainment and Warner Bros. will also help to produce the film.
The ’96 classic Space Jam movie saw Jordan team up with the Looney Tunes to take on the Monstars in a game of basketball. Joining James in the sequel will be Eric Bauza, who will reportedly be taking over the roles of Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd from Billy West.
Space Jam 2 began filming last summer and is scheduled to hit theaters on July 16, 2021.
