It’s been 25 years since basketball legend Michael Jordan walked off the court into his own movie in Space Jam.
Now, the ball has been lobbed to LeBron James, who like Jordan, enters the world of the Loony Tunes alongside cartoon icons Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.
Space Jam: A New Legacy premiered yesterday (Mon), at the LA Live entertainment complex in downtown Los Angeles.
The purple carpet was filled with celebrities, from Zendaya, who voices Lola Bunny, and Don Cheadle, who plays villain Al G. Rhythm, to John Legend and G-Eazy, who have tracks on the film’s score.
Basketball stars Klay Thompson and Anthony Davis also attended the premier.
More family-orientated than the original ‘Space Jam’, this sequel sees James try to rescue his son Dom by winning a basketball game with Bugs Bunny, voiced by Jeff Bergman.
The film is all set to release in the United States on HBO Max this Friday.
