Earlier, James shared some images from the movie, even featuring some other characters. The first photo shared is an Entertainment Weekly magazine cover, featuring James in the middle as the Tune Squad. In one, James is seen mid-shot, probably about to dunk a charged basketball. The last image features James looking to his side, an angry-looking Tweety glaring as he flies at his side. 

James even dropped the video teaser in January. The teaser – which lasts for seconds – features James and Bugs Bunny. The next shot is of a sparkly beam both stare at. This even drew attention to James' hairline, as people wondered how James' hair in the movie was edited, making the Space Jam 2 news trending on social media back then. The Space Jam 2 release date is much awaited by fans.
