Well, production for the follow-up began last year and casting announcements followed, with Avengers: Endgame star Don Cheadle being a particularly pleasant surprise addition to the roster, with the actor now confirming that, yes, he is definitely starring in Space Jam 2.
“The Space Jam collaboration is so much more than just me and the Looney Tunes getting together and doing this movie.
For some reason, 1996’s basketball focused Space Jam is just one of those movies, and fans have been clamouring for a sequel ever since.
Much like the live-action icons playing themselves, the first Space Jam is full of animated Looney Tunes characters, so the idea of Cheadle playing one of them is certainly not beyond the realms of possibility.
