What 2021 film stars LeBron James in the Space Jam sequel? Space Jam: A New Legacy stars LeBron James.

The film is a live-action/animated sports comedy and a sequel to the 1996 movie Space Jam. James plays a fictionalized version of himself, while the Looney Tunes—including Bugs Bunny—return as his animated teammates and allies.

The story sends James into the Warner Bros. “Serververse,” a virtual world controlled by the rogue artificial intelligence Al-G Rhythm. To rescue his son Dom, James must assemble the Tune Squad and compete in a basketball game. The family-focused plot also contrasts James’s professional ambitions with his son’s interest in video-game design.

Malcolm D. Lee directed the film, which also stars Don Cheadle and Sonequa Martin-Green. It premiered in Los Angeles on July 12, 2021, and opened in the United States on July 16. Unlike the original film, which centered on Michael Jordan, this sequel uses James as its basketball celebrity lead.
