Zendaya Voicing Lola Bunny in SPACE JAM: A NEW LEGACY
Warner Bros. released its first full trailer for Space Jam: A New Legacy over the weekend, and it looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun. Now a new report is stating that Zendaya (Spider-Man: Far From Home, The Greatest Showman) is the voice of the character Lola Bunny this time around. The casting was confirmed on the film’s Twitter. Check it out:
The movie sees Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James replacing NBA legend Michael Jordan as the face of the Space Jam franchise. The story follows James as he struggles to connect with his tech-savvy son Dom (Ceyair J. Wright), but when a CGI humanoid named Al G Rhythm (Don Cheadle) attempts to steal James’ social media followers, the two are sucked into the “Warner 3000 entertainment server-verse.” In order to save his son, James must defeat the Goon Squad — of course, with the help of the Toon Squad, which includes Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Lola Bunny, Marvin the Martian, Porky Pig, Roadrunner and the rest of the Looney Tunes.
The cast also includes Khris Davis, Sonequa Martin-Green, and Cedric Joe. Many NBA and WNBA players will make cameo appearances in the film, including Anthony Davis, Damian Lillard, Klay Thompson, Diana Taurasi, and Nneka Ogwumike.
Space Jam: A New Legacy is set to release both theatrically and on HBO Max in the U.S. on July 16th.
