Very little information on the film has revealed. Writer Ben Mekler tweeted out the Space Jam sequel‘s possible plot, which includes LeBron James saving his son from a “powerful force” played by Don Cheadle.

“During a trip to the Warner Bros. studio, NBA Superstar LeBron James and his young son Dom (Cedric Joe)- who dreams of being a video game developer- accidentally get trapped within a world that contains all of Warner Bros. Stories and characters, under the control of a malfunctioning, all-powerful force named Al G Rhythm (played by Don Cheadle),” the synopsis states.

LeBron must get them home safe with the help of Bugs Bunny and through a never-before-seen world filled with iconic movie scenes and characters.

Now to get back home, Lebron and the Tunes have to unravel Al G’s mysterious plan and win an epic basketball game against digital gamified super-versions of the NBA and WNBA’s biggest stars as the entire world watches.”

With production having wrapped back in September 2019, well before the virus hit, here’s hoping that no changes to the date will be necessary.

The release date means that there will have been a 25-year gap between the 1996 original and the sequel, making the new movie a bit of an anniversary project as well.

On September 29, 2020, SpringHill Co. Entertainment, the production company for the film, signed a 4-year contract deal with Universal Pictures, making this their fourth and final independent piece.
