The Looney Tunes and a basketball star play a game of basketball. Sound familiar?

Space Jam: A New Legacy stars basketball player LeBron James as a fictionalised version of himself, along with Don Cheadle, Khris Davis, Sonequa Martin-Green, and Cedric Joe in live-action roles, while Jeff Bergman, Eric Bauza, and Zendaya headline the Looney Tunes voice cast.

Directed by Malcolm D. Lee, Space Jam: A New Legacy is the live-action / animated sports comedy film which serves as a standalone sequel to 1996’s Space Jam. It is the first theatrically released film to feature the Looney Tunes characters since Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003) and combines live-action, traditional hand-drawn animation, and 3D CGI effects.

Superstar LeBron James and his young son, Dom, get trapped in digital space (a shared Warner Bros. virtual multiverse) by a rogue AI (Don Cheadle). To get home safely, LeBron teams up with Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and the rest of the Looney Tunes gang for a high-stakes basketball game against the AI’s digitised champions of the court – a powered-up roster called the Goon Squad.
