Coogler will produce and Nance will direct the reboot of 1996’s _Space Jam_, which originally starred Michael Jordan and an animated Bugs Bunny, while James will appear in his first starring role in a feature film since co-starring in _Trainwreck_. In an interview with [_The Hollywood Reporter_](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/ryan-coogler-produce-lebron-james-space-jam-sequel-1145386), James shared that he was exceptionally excited to work with Coogler because of his “vision” with bringing _Black Panther_ to the silver screen. “The _Space Jam_ collaboration is so much more than just me and the Looney Tunes getting together and doing this movie,” James said. “It’s so much bigger. I’d just love for kids to understand how empowered they can feel and how empowered they can be if they don’t just give up on their dreams. And I think Ryan did that for a lot of people.” The original _Space Jam_ is the highest grossing basketball movie of all time and featured cameos of NBA stars at the time, such as Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing. While a _Space Jam_ sequel has long been talked about, Jordan had originally voiced [a preference for Blake Griffin](http://www.espn.com/sportsnation/story/%5F/id/17201220/michael-jordan-says-blake-griffin-star-space-jam-2) to star in a redux. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5401048/space-jam-2/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5401048/space-jam-2/"},"headline":"Welcome to the Space Jam Sequel Starring LeBron James and Produced by Ryan Coogler","datePublished":"2018-09-19T20:09:08.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-12T17:32:08.000Z","description":"The Tune Squad is back","url":"https://time.com/5401048/space-jam-2/","keywords":["Newsfeed","entertainment","Sports"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2fe81a5069f13039/69893aa0457a52b308d5f6b0/lbron-james-ryan-coogler-space-jam-reboot.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2fe81a5069f13039/69893aa0457a52b308d5f6b0/lbron-james-ryan-coogler-space-jam-reboot.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Harlem's Fashion Row - Front Row & Backstage - September 2018 - New York Fashion Week","caption":"Harlem's Fashion Row - Front Row & Backstage - September 2018 - New York Fashion Week","creditText":"Paul Zimmerman—WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5401048/space-jam-2/","name":"Welcome to the Space Jam Sequel Starring LeBron James and Produced by Ryan Coogler"}}]}] ```
