LeBron James<\/strong> is set to step into Michael Jordon\u2019s very large shoes as the star of\u00a0Space Jam: A New Legacy<\/em><\/strong>, the long-awaited sequel to the 1996 comedy\u00a0Space Jam<\/em>.<\/strong> And at 36 years old, James was the perfect age to grow up with the original\u00a0Space Jam<\/em>, which was the staple of many a sports and\/or Looney Tunes-loving millennial. But the first\u00a0Space Jam<\/em> movie holds a special place in James\u2019 heart, which is what helps bring his starring role in\u00a0A New Legacy<\/em> full circle.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly<\/a>, James spoke about how the\u00a0original\u00a0Space Jam<\/em>\u00a0was \u201ca big part of my childhood\u201d when he was growing up in Akron, Ohio. It made an impact on him as a struggling child in his hometown, and James wants to pass it on to \u201cthose students who are already falling behind and in danger of falling through the cracks.\u201d In 2018, through the LeBron James Family Foundation, James opened the\u00a0I Promise School<\/a>\u00a0in his hometown, which is dedicated to those struggling kids, who he hopes will app<\/a>reciate his new role in\u00a0Space Jam: A New Legacy<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, I can\u2019t wait for that. That is happening no matter what. I will make sure all our kids get an opportunity to screen this movie. I think that\u2019s going to be something that I will remember for the rest of my life, just being there with my I Promise kids, either at our school, or at a local movie theater, where we can bring all our kids, all their families. It\u2019s going to be something special.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In\u00a0Space Jam: A New Legacy<\/em>, LeBron James plays a heightened version of himself with a fictional family including 16-year-old\u00a0Cedric Joe<\/strong>\u00a0as LeBron\u2019s son Dom,\u00a0Ceyair Wright<\/strong>\u00a0as older son Darius,\u00a0Harper Leigh Alexander<\/strong>\u00a0as daughter Xosha, and\u00a0Sonequa Martin-Green<\/strong>\u00a0(Star Trek: Discovery<\/em>) as his wife Kamiyah. The movie follows LeBron as he\u2019s having a hard time relating to Dom, who\u2019s much more interested in creating game<\/a>s than playing them. Producer\u00a0Ryan Coogler<\/strong>\u00a0explained, \u201cThe general<\/a> idea was the examination of Black fatherhood and how fatherhood could be unique to LeBron James specifically. There are parents who want to push their kids to do certain things because this is what they do, but sometimes you have to look into a kid and be able to have an open mind and ear to help them become the thing they\u2019ve dreamed of.\u201d<\/p>\n

Space Jam: A New Legacy<\/em>\u00a0will arrive on HBO Max and in theaters on\u00a0July 16<\/strong>,\u00a02021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
