The dream team is getting back together in the sequel to Warner Bros’s 1996 film Space Jam and we have all the details on how you can watch LeBron James, Bugs Bunny and the rest of the Looney Tunes in Space Jam: A New Legacy online.
The sequel to the iconic 90s film puts a modern touch on the Space Jam formula and this time around, LeBron James and his young son Dom (Cedric Joe) are trapped in a digital space called the Warner 3000 Server-Verse by a rogue AI known as AI-G Rhythm (Don Cheadle).
After Dom is captured, LeBron must turn Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Lola Bunny and the rest of the Looney Tunes into an elite basketball team just like Michael Jordan did in the first film to defeat AI-G Rhythm.
While Michael Jordan and the Looney Tunes faced off against the Monstars in the first film, this time around LeBron and the dream team will be taking on AI-G Rhythm’s team of digitized NBA and WNBA stars. It’s Tunes versus Goons in Space Jam: A New Legacy but will LeBron and the Looney Tunes have what it takes to win the big game?
One of the things that sets the new film apart from its predecessor is the fact that since it takes place in the Warner 3000 Server-Verse, characters from other Warner Bros. properties will also be making an appearance. Based on the trailer alone, there will be references to The Mask, King Kong, The Jetsons, The Matrix, Scooby Doo, the Wizard of Oz, Wonder Woman, Yogi Bear, Batman, The Iron Giant, Game of Thrones and more of the studio’s intellectual property.
In a recent interview with Access Hollywood, Don Cheadle also let slip that Michael Jordan will also be in Space Jam: A New Legacy but not necessarily in the manner fans of the series would expect him to be.
Whether you grew up watching Looney Tunes and the first Space Jam film or just want to introduce your kids to Warner Bros.’ live-action/animated sports comedy, we’ll show you how to watch Space Jam: A New Legacy from anywhere in the world.
