Space Jam 2 will mark LeBron’s second high-profile acting role, having previously won adoration for his role alongside Amy Schumer in 2015’s Trainwreck.
According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, executive producer LeBron James ”hasn’t been able to close some of those deals” for the forthcoming sequel.
Space Jam 2 is reportedly struggling to secure cameos from basketball’s top players.
Black Panther director Ryan Coogler will produce the movie, with Terence Nance – creator of HBO’s Random Acts of Flyness – directing.
