James competes for Looney Tunes

As anticipation for the long-awaited “Space Jam” follow-up rises earlier than its July 16 premiere, the second trailer for “Space Jam: A New Legacy” raises the stakes of this face-off — LeBron James should win or else the Tune squad might be deleted.

The latest trailer offers viewers a sneak-peek into James’ preparation earlier than this fateful sport — in addition to the Looney Tunes’ normal shenanigans. After being digitized and greeting Bugs Bunny with an enthusiastic hug, James groups up with the remainder of the Tune Squad to type an elite staff able to successful Dom’s freedom. 

As the stress rises for James to reunite with this household by displaying off his abilities on the courtroom, the villain declares that if James and the Tune Squad lose, the Looney Tunes might be deleted from the “Server-verse.”

Now that the Tune Squad’s future is at risk, the Looney Tunes placed on their sport face as they battle to win their very own freedom  — full with Wile E. Coyote getting into a cloning machine and projecting a number of variations of himself onto the courtroom.

Actress Zendaya will be a part of James on the courtroom as she voices Lola Bunny. “We’re the best teammates he’s ever had,” Lola says in a clip launched on Twitter June 6. “You know, don’t love the sidekick label but we’ll let it go because it’s LeBron.”

Beyond LeBron and Zendaya, “Space Jam: A New Legacy” boasts a robust roster — “Girls Trip” director Malcolm D. Lee is directing the movie, and “Black Panther’s” Ryan Coogler is a producer. And chances are you’ll discover a couple of different present NBA and WNBA stars lurking within the movie as effectively.

“Space Jam: A New Legacy” opens in theaters and on HBO Max July 16. Watch the second trailer above.
