Looney Tunes 'Space Jam 2': Ryan Coogler comes on board to produce the LeBron James starrer
After rumors emerged in 2015, it is now confirmed that 'Space Jam 2' will have LeBron James replacing Michael Jordan in the Looney Tunes flick
The wait is drawing nearer to a close. After years of anticipating a sequel to the epic basketball-cartoon crossover hit 'Space Jam', the Looney Tunes squad is finally back, albeit in an all-new movie. The live-action/animated sports comedy is expected to be a fresh take on the original 1996 movie starring basketball legend Michael Jordan. This time, Los Angeles Lakers' LeBron James will star alongside Bugs Bunny and the rest of the 'Looney Tunes' team. The latest update is that 'Black Panther' director Ryan Coogler has been brought on board to produce the new Warner Bros. 'Space Jam'.
Coogler is probably one of the most sought-after directors in Hollywood at the moment after 'Black Panther' grossed more than $1.3 million worldwide.
