New SPACE JAM: A NEW LEGACY Clip Features Bugs Bunny and LeBron James as Batman and Robin
In this latest clip for Warner Bros. upcoming movie Space Jam: A New Legacy, Bugs Bunny and LeBron James find themselves in “DC World” where they are transformed into Batman and Robin, and James is a little frustrated that he is the sidekick in this scenario.
There are also a few other Easter eggs thrown into the clip for you to pick out. The style of DC World is reminiscent of Bruce Tim’s classic ‘90s Batman and Superman animated shows. You’ll even get a glimpse of Clark Kent from Superman: The Animated Series.
I’ll tell ya, all I need to see of this movie is everything that’s been released in the trailers and the clips.
Space Jam: A New Legacy was directed by Malcolm D. Lee (of Barbershop: The Next Cut, Girls Trip, Night School). “When LeBron and his young son Dom (Cedric Joe) are trapped in a digital space by a rogue A.I., LeBron must get them home safe by leading Bugs, Lola Bunny and the whole gang of notoriously undisciplined Looney Tunes to victory over the A.I.’s digitized champions on the court: a powered-up roster of professional basketball stars as you’ve never seen them before. It’s Tunes versus Goons in the highest-stakes challenge of his life, that will redefine LeBron’s bond with his son and shine a light on the power of being yourself. The ready-for-action Tunes destroy convention, supercharge their unique talents and surprise even ‘King’ James by playing the game their own way.”
The film is being produced by Ryan Coogler and also stars Star Trek: Discovery's Sonequa Martin-Green who was cast as LeBron's wife, Don Cheadle as the rogue AI named Al-G Rhythm, Ceyair Wright who plays the older son Darius, and Harper Leigh Alexander as his daughter Xosha, and Zendaya as the voice of the character Lola Bunny. Michael Jordan is also supposed to make an appearance.
Space Jam: A New Legacy arrives in theaters on July 16, 2021.
