After more than a month of waiting, Space Jam: A New Legacy's new trailer was dropped earlier this week by the makers. While the first trailer gave a glimpse into the main plot of the animated movie, the second trailer promised scenes full of pure physical comedy which the Looney Tunes have been famous for. The cartoon characters will team up with LeBron James as his final hope to be reunited with his son. 

 The new trailer not only amps up the excitement for seeing the nostalgic characters, once again, on the big screen but also shows LeBron James in a brand new light with some hilarious dialogues. The basketball player's delivery of dialogues is sure to earn many giggles. As for the Tunes, the audience will not only get to watch some of their favourite characters in the 2D format but also in an all-new avatar in the 3D format. Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny continue to entertain with their classic comedic timing. One of the most memorable duos, Wile E Coyote and the Roadrunner too will feature in the movie and show off their basketball skills as they join LeBron James' dream team.

Space Jam: A New Legacy cast will feature many stars including Don Cheadle as the evil algorithm, Al-G Rhythm. The Greatest Showman's Zendaya, too, features in the new movie as Lola Bunny, who is more mature and supportive of James throughout the movie. Other than this, the voice cast would welcome back Jeff Bergman as Bugs Bunny and Jim Cummings as the Tasmanian Devil. Apart from James, the movie would also include basketball players Klay Thompson, Anthony Davis, Diana Taurasi, Nneka Ogwumike, and Damian Lilliard in the Space Jam: A New Legacy cast.
