Rumours abound this weekend that Space Jam 2 is in the works, starring LeBron James. The original came out in 1996 and starred Michael Jordan, Bugs Bunny, and other Looney Tunes. It’s become something of a classic.
The series is getting a sequel, and will be developed by Charlie and Willie Ebersol. Charlie tweeted,

However, people from LeBron’s camp are denying the story, saying he isn’t confirmed for the sequel.
Well it was fun while it lasted. LeBron sources refute Deadline report, there’s no Space Jam 2 or Warner Bros. project in works

Source close to LeBron says there has been no substantive discussions regarding his starring in a Space Jam sequel.

So I guess there’s 2 questions to ask here. 1.) Would you see a Space Jam 2 film? 2.) Would you see it starring LeBron James?
