scheduled for release in 2021.
The first Space Jam is ed fondly by many viewers as an exciting Looney Tunes and Michael Jordan crossover. Although not critically acclaimed, Space Jam successfully brought Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and more iconic characters together in a feature length film. A sequel to Space Jam had been in the works, with basketball stars such as Anthony Davis and Klay Thompson were reported to be in the film as well.
LeBron James posted on his Twitter that production on Space Jam 2 has begun. He didn't divulge any details on the plot or characters, but fans will be happy to know that the film is closer to becoming reality.
It may seem surprising that very little has been released regarding Space Jam 2. The full cast has yet to be officially unveiled, and there's not even a plot synopsis. However, it's important to that the film is two years off. Since production has just begun, it isn't likely a trailer will be released until next year. In the meantime, as shooting continues, updates will probably start to roll in slowly.
It's tough to say how well Space Jam 2 will do. The first one did well commercially, and is well liked by many viewers. If the second one retains the original's spirit, while also improving upon its criticisms, the film could do exceptionally well in both box office and reviews. If marketed right, Space Jam 2 can encom a wide range of viewers. Children will be a target audience like the first one of course, but Space Jam 2 should also be targeted to young adults who have fond memories of the original, as well as older adults who grew up with the classic Looney Tunes shorts. Of course, the basketball element will be a good incentive for sports fans as well. Time will tell how well Space Jam 2 does, but no matter what, it will certainly be good to have Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes gang back on the big screen.
