'Space Jam 2'
, featuring professional basketball player
LeBron James, has been given an official release date. The production house, which is co-owned by James, broke the news, announcing the film will hit the US theatres on July 16, 2021.
Filming on the long-anticipated follow-up to the Michael Jordan-Bugs Bunny hit is tentatively slated for 2019, during the NBA off-season.
The film will be directed by Terence Nance and produced by 'Black Panther' helmer
Ryan Coogler.
This will be James' first starring role after a successful turn as a supporting character in
Amy Schumer's 'Trainwreck'(2015).
'Space Jam', released in 1996, was a live-action/animated film that mashed up Looney Tunes characters with basketball stars and aliens.
Bugs Bunny is expected to return for the sequel.
