It’s also worth noting that the NBA star is married in real life to his high school sweetheart Savannah James, but it’s unclear if Martin-Green will be playing her, or an entirely original character.
Specifically, the actress will be playing James’ wife in the movie – though it’s not entirely clear how that will rope her into the larger plot… mostly because we don’t really know much about the larger plot.
After years of being stuck in development, the LeBron James-starring sequel finally started turning its gears earlier this year, and now Variety is reporting that Sonequa Martin-Green is now in negotiations for a key role.
