Will There Be a 'Space Jam 3'? Director Reveals Who He Wants to Star in the Movie!

The second Space Jam movie just came out in theaters today (July 16) and there’s already talk about a third movie being made!

The first film was released 25 years ago, so hopefully a third movie won’t take another 25 years to get made.

Malcolm D. Lee, who directed Space Jam: A New Legacy, is sharing who he thinks should star in a possible third movie.

“I never say never,” he told Entertainment Weekly about possibly directing another installment. “It’s all going to be about whether the fans respond to this positively. But I think the bar has been set so high in terms of the first one with this global iconic superstar in Michael Jordan, and now the same global iconic superstar in LeBron James, who transcends sports. Who is that next person to put into that universe? And then you’ve got to find a script and story that’s good enough to not repeat what’s been done but will capture the spirit of it and keep it going.”

So, who should star in the third film?

“Dwayne Johnson would be an interesting choice. It would be different. I’m not exactly sure what his skillset would be, maybe he goes back to wrestling. That might be interesting,” Lee said.

You can now watch Space Jam: A New Legacy in theaters or on HBO Max. Check out photos of the cast at the premiere this week!
