Space Jam 2 Teases New Look for Bugs Bunny | Game Rant

It’s been 24 years since the original Space Jam movie saw basketball legend Michael Jordan team up with the Looney Toons to save the day from space aliens. The film, which is very cheesy and contains a dated, but charming blend of live action, CGI, and 2D animation, has become something of a cult classic in the years since. While Space Jam is, admittedly, a pretty barebones film a few great moments, the sheer novelty of the concept and commitment to the bit has made it a beloved film for nostalgic millennials everywhere.

As with everything nostalgic, a sequel was only a matter of time. Somebody in Warner Bros. would inevitably come to the table to propose a return, and so it has come to pass: Space Jam 2: A New Legacy will feature the same basic concept, but this time around, Lebron James will be the big name to hang the production on. Currently slated for release on July 16th, 2021, it will also star Don Cheadle and Sonequa Martin-Green, presumably as part of the team that will support the Looney Tunes and Lebron James.

Information has been pretty scarce since, without much more than a title and logo being shown off. Just recently, however, as part of a virtual CCXP panel, WarnerMedia revealed the updated design for Bugs Bunny that will be featured in the film. During the panel, a short video of Bugs Bunny was shown where the character escorts the audience through a tour of Warner Bros. and teases Space Jam 2. While it isn’t confirmed yet whether this is indeed the final design for the character, it does seem to be teasing a more cartoony look compared to the original film.

The original Space Jam had the cartoon characters shaded in a way to give the impression of realistic lighting from being in the real world. In contrast, this new image of Bugs Bunny seems to go for a flatter, more cartoony look, despite being ostensibly in the real world. This may indicate that the film will also be emphasizing the cartoon nature of the characters more than the original, although that obviously remains to be seen. It does at least look true to the character, as Warner Bros. is unlikely to make any significant changes to the designs of the most iconic cartoon characters in history.

Space Jam 2: A New Legacy will release July 16th, 2021.
