Although the plot differs from the original film that starred Jordan, the Looney Tunes are back again in this Space Jam sequel.
“It’s not a sequel,” James told the Road Trippin’ podcast. “It’s called Space Jam: A New Legacy, it’s not called Space Jam 2.
“There will be a basketball game, I’ll say that. And there will be some people that are a little out of this world that we’re competing against.”
