One of the film projects that WarnerMedia promised would arrive during 2021 is the sequel to the 90s classic Space Jam. The athlete Michael Jordan will not return as part of the cast, but there will be a great basketball player who will accompany the Looney Tunes: LeBron James. Although it was already known that the athlete would be part of the film, no images had been shown of how he would look on the film as such. Now, we finally have a preview of what the star will look like.
In accordance with The universal, began to circulate in the networks a small clip where LeBron James is seen accompanied by Bugs Bunny. It doesn’t last much more than a second, but both the Lakers basketball player and the Looney Tunes leader are observing something in front of and above them in the first scene. The next scene appears to show a city space, possibly in the animated universe where the majority of Space Jam took place.
By pausing the second part of the clip, you can see other Looney Tunes, including Lola Bunny, Silvestre, and Tweety. Other figures are visible in the background, probably the rest of the animated team or just other people who were passing by. Everyone sees how a device, which resembles the huge screens used in basketball states, fly and carry a human figure. Thus, perhaps it is a clip that occurs at the beginning of Space Jam.

What is known about Space Jam 2
Many details have been gradually revealed about this new Looney Tunes movie. The most important information, of course, is its release date. In accordance with Decider, the project is expected to come out at the same time both in theaters and on the platform of streaming. There is also a proposed release date of July 16, but the schedule could change if there are any issues with post-production or its release.
Related Notes
Along with the leaks of what LeBron James will look like in Space Jam that were revealed today, some other details of the character design have also been released. As pointed out Weather, the new version of Lola Bunny has caused some controversy among the biggest fans of the original. In large part, because many did not like that she had a less pronounced figure in her feminine attributes, something that caused the ridicule of others.
You can also mention the leak of the uniform that LeBron James will use at some point in the film. The financial He took several photographs, where it is seen that the basketball player has shorts and a shirt with a tonality similar to turquoise. Besides you see him with the number six, as well as the title “Tune Squad.” As part of the design you can also see a part of the circle related to both the Space Jam franchise and the Looney Tunes.
The art of leaks to promote products
It is not uncommon for companies, as in the case of Space Jam, to release small previews or details, directly or indirectly, of their products to create buzz. For example, Ryan Reynolds at the time he posted a full video that was supposedly the full Detective Pikachu movie on YouTube. In the end it turned out to be just a joke by the actor to promote the film with a viral marketing strategy on the networks.
Other times, contrary to the case now of Space Jam 2, the leaks are clearly a situation that does not benefit the marketing strategies of the brands. For example when Apple was going to show his iPhone 12, only a few hours before the images of the smartphone. So close to the event, it may have been something the company’s fans did to get ahead of the announcement, rather than brand action.
