Nearly 25 years after the original "Space Jam" debuted, a sequel has finally arrived in theaters and on HBO Max. The new movie, titled "Space Jam: A New Legacy," premiered on July 16. You can stream it for one month at no extra cost with HBO Max's ad-free plan ($15/month).
The original movie starred basketball legend Michael Jordan, but the sequel features current NBA icon LeBron James as its new lead. In "Space Jam: A New Legacy," James teams up with Warner Bros' Looney Tunes characters for a basketball game against a group of digitized stars nicknamed the Goon Squad. The fate of James' son, played by actor Cedric Joe, and the Looney Tunes themselves, will be decided by the outcome of the game.
Much like the original "Space Jam," the Goon Squad characters are inspired by real NBA and WNBA players, including Damian Lillard, Anthony Davis, Diana Taurasi, and Nneka Ogwumike. "Space Jam: A New Legacy" also stars Don Cheadle, Khris Davis, and Sonequa Martin-Green.
