Space Jam 2: release date and where to watch on streaming
The long-awaited return of the iconic movie sees Lebron James suit up for Space Jam: A New Legacy, which will be available to stream from Friday, 16 July.
This week will see the long-awaited release of Space Jam: A New Legacy as the sequel to the iconic 90s movie lands on streaming platforms. It has been a quarter of a century since the original first came to the silver screens and a lot has changed to continue the saga.
Basketball legend Michael Jordan starred on the court in the original and Space Jam: A New Legacy sees Lebron James take his place. The first film saw Jordan link up with Bugs Bunny and the rest of the Loony Toons to take on an evil mastermind played by Danny DeVito.
From what we’ve seen of the trailers there’s another criminal genius looking to take on the Toons, and it’s up to James to save the day. The movie will be available to stream in the United States from Friday, 16 July, although it will only be available on one platform to begin with.
