‘Space Jam: A New Legacy’ Posters Have Been Revealed by Warner Bros.

Warner Bros. has shared another eye-catching poster for the Space Jam sequel. The latest poster features NBA star LeBron James and Looney Tunes favorite Bugs Bunny standing back-to-back. The colorful lighting and glowing orbit highlight James and Bugs Bunny in the poster. Both look ready to play ball and remain partners-in-crime.

Space Jam: A New Legacy will serve as the sequel to the 1996 film, Space Jam. NBA legend Michael Jordan had starred in Space Jam, where he helps the Looney Tunes win a basketball game. Unfortunately, Jordan will not be reprising his role but the sequel will allow another basketball star to shine: LeBron James. While the next installment promises to be different from its predecessor, James will also help the Looney Tunes win a basketball game. Joe Pytka had directed the 1996 version. Pytka will not be directing this time around; instead, Malcolm D. Lee will be directing the sports film. Lee is notably known for directing comedy films, such as Girls Trip (2017).
