In addition, during a recent interview with Access Hollywood, when asked if fans would be seeing the original film’s lead star Michael Jordan in Space Jam 2, Don Cheadle unexpectedly confirmed that “Michael Jordan is in the movie.” However, he quickly teased that the sports superstar’s appearance won’t be “in the way you’d expect it.”

Space Jam: A New Legacy will feature LeBron James as he portrays a fictionalized version of himself. The film will center around him and his young son Cole, who has aspirations of becoming a video game developer, finding themselves trapped in a digital world by a rogue algorithm named Al-G Rhythm. Now, the NBA superstar must lead the Tunes Squad including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Lola Bunny, and the rest of the undisciplined Tunes to victory over Al-G’s digitized players on the court to return home and save the world.

James leads an ensemble roster that includes Star Trek: Discovery star Sonequa Martin-Green as his wife Kamiyah, MCU alum Don Cheadle as Al-G, and Zendaya as Lola Bunny. They will be joined by Jim Cummings, Bob Bergen, Gabriel Iglesias, Jeff Bergman,and Xosha Roquemore along with NBA and WNBA stars, Portland Trailblazers’ Damian Lillard, New Orleans Pelicans’ Anthony Davis, Golden State Warriors’ Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, Los Angeles Lakers’ Kyle Kuzma, Phoenix Suns’ Chris Paul, Phoenix Mercury’s Diana Taurasi and Los Angeles Sparks’ siblings Chiney and Nneka Ogwumike.
