Some very interesting unverified leaks for the upcoming sequelSpace Jam 2have recently hit the internet. The leak seems to suggest that the live-action/animated sports comedy movie will feature the likes ofBatmanvillainJoker, green-faced Jim Carrey characterThe Mask,IT’sclown tormentor Pennywise and potentially even more characters from properties ranging from all across the Warner Bros. vast universe of movies.
The pair of images posted to social media, rumored to be from LeBron James' upcomingSpace Jam 2, includes what looks like a similar version to Jared Leto’s tattooed Joker from David Ayer’sSuicide Squad, though more than likely features a different actor under the make-up, as well as aPennywisethat also looks similar to the one featured in the most recentITmovies. Of course, this may well be a different iteration of both characters but it is difficult to tell at this time and would make sense for Warner Bros. to bring these more recent versions back to life for the basketball focussed comedy.
The images also show a wide-grinning, very green-facedThe Mask, which looks very similar to the one portrayed by Jim Carrey back in 1994. It is unlikely that it is Carrey underneath the green skin, but will no doubt be someone doing an impression of his over-the-top, in-your-face character.The Maskdoes also seem to be wearing a black and white shirt, which could very well mean that the cartoonish troublemaker will be refereeing the big game in the movie. It is worth noting that all of these characters are basically clowns and villains, perhaps hinting that LeBron and his Looney Tune pals will stumble upon some sort of clown/villain world during their basketball-related escapades.
Regardless, it all promises to be quite the ridiculous adventure.
Head on over to Reddit and you will discover that there are rumors thatSpace Jam 2will even feature characters from the likes of theHarry Potter,Wizard of Oz,Mad MaxandThe Matrix.
“This is true. Mad Max characters, Clockwork Orange,Joker, Pennywise, Penguin, Wicked Witch of West, Agent Smith are all in it.”
So,Space Jam 2is setting itself up to be like something akin theThe Lego Movie, with characters from across the Warner Bros. line making appearances and cameos whilst audiences nudge and whisper to each other about who each of them is.
Space Jam 2 filmed last summer and wrapped in September 2019. The movie is scheduled to be released on July 07, 2025 and is directed by Terence Nance, with LeBron James producing and starring.Black Pantherdirector Ryan Coogler is also on producing duty.Avengers: Endgamestar, and War Machine himself, Don Cheadle andThe Walking Deadstar Sonequa Martin-Green will be starring alongside LeBron.
Lebron won’t be the only athlete on board, as previous reports revealed that various athletes will also be making an appearance, including LeBron’s Lakers teammate Anthony Davis, Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers, Houston Rockets star Chris Paul, Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors, in addition to WNBA players including Diana Taurasi, and sisters Nneka and Chiney Ogwumike, with the movie also said to feature additional players from the NBA and WNBA as well. Phew. A previous post revealed thenew MonStars and Tune Squad jerseysthat everyone will be wearing in the movie.
From the sounds of things,Space Jam 2is set to be much bigger than the rather simple affair of the first movie. This comes to us fromReddit user jdogamericaandInstagram user dcuverse.
