I BELIEVE I CAN FLY!!!! LeBron James and Ryan Coogler have teamed up to do a Space Jam sequel.

           

 

The Los Angeles Laker player and famed director have confirmed they are working on a sequel to the hit 1996 classic, Space Jam, which starred NBA icon Michael Jordan. The original film is still the highest grossing basketball movie of all time, earning an estimated $250 millionLeBron is set to star, while Ryan, who brought us Black Panther, will produce.

"[Ryan] gave this generation's kids something I didn't have when I was a kid," James said in the September 19th issue of The Hollywood Reporter. "And that's a superhero movie with an African-American cast."

The 4-time NBA MVP said never in his wildest dreams that he imagined he could become a superhero.

"I always wanted to be a superhero. Batman was my favorite. But I knew I could never be Bruce Wayne," he explained. "You've got to understand, for me that was in no way possible; I never felt like I could be the president of a multibillion-dollar company." And look at him now!

Warner Bros. is excited for a sequel to Space Jam since 2016 and at that time, Justin Lin (Fast & Furious) was used to write and direct. When the news came out that a sequel was probably in the works, Michael Jordan suggested Blake Griffin must star on the move. Many people took him like Jordan shooting at LeBron. As LeBron signed up to make the movie through his SpringHill production company, LeBron Maverick Carter's business partner / friend launched Ryan Coogler. Terence Nance ("Random Acts of Flyness") was then hired to run. Both LeBron and Maverick have emphasized that their version will not be a sequel, though it may well be the beginning of a new franchise. The original film contained many sprints from NBA players. But will Michael Jordan go on?

"We'll see," Maverick said."Hopefully there will be a role for Michael if he wants it. But Michael Jordan is Michael Fuckin' Jordan. It doesn't matter [if James] calls him, he's gonna do whatever the hell he wants, which he has earned that right to do." And then he added: "LeBron and Michael are not sitting around talking about Space Jam."
