The release date of Space Jam 2 has been announced – free your agenda of 16 July 2021.

SpringHill Entertainment announced the news on Twitter – it's the production company co-founded by athlete LeBron James, who starred in the film.

He succeeds Michael Jordan, who appeared in the original film in 1996 alongside Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing, two stars of basketball.

This is not LeBron's first concert, he was playing a supportive role in Trainwreck with actress Amy Schumer.

Bunny Bugs and his love interest, Lola, will take over their roles, and the first will be performed by Eric Bouza.

Eric is currently the only confirmed voice actor for the film.

Space Jam 2 will be produced by Ryan Coogler, known for his work on Marvel Studios' Black Panther, and will be directed by Terence Nance, creator of Random Acts of Flyness.

If you are not aware, here is a brief recap.

In the original film, Michael Jordan is selected by Bugs Bunny to help Looney Tunes characters play a basketball game against devilish aliens from a park of attractions in the space, known as from Moron Mountain.

Bugs and his friends, including Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, the Tasmanian devil and others, will be forced to work at Moron Mountain if they lose the game.

Michael is reluctant at first, but eventually accepts.

What he does not realize, like Tune Squad, is that aliens have stolen the talents of other basketball stars on the planet to win.

They are headed by the owner of the amusement park, Mr. Swackhammer, voiced by Danny DeVito.

Bill Murray also makes an appearance, playing himself.

Twitter users have mixed reactions as a result, with some people sharing funny memos and others leaving guessing who else will appear in the new movie.

The complete plot of Space Jam 2 has not yet been revealed, but we know that Bugs has aged well. He is now 23 years later and he looks exactly the same.

Warner Bros. are the creators of the original, which brought in $ 230 million worldwide, equivalent to nearly 177 million pounds at today's prices.
