There is no doubt that LeBron James is closely following Michael Jordan's success. The three-time NBA champ has been compared to the living legend MJ, and now rumors have it that he will be taking over "Space Jam 2," where Jordan starred in the first film.
Basketball fans have been waiting for another "Space Jam" movie and reports have it that it is already in talks. However, years have passed and "Space Jam 2" remains in the dark.
According to SB Nation, LeBron James confirmed that "Space Jam 2" is in talks. He added that he would love to take the project and that he has a great partnership with Warner Bros. However, they are not taking things in a rush because they don't want to ruin the project. They want to get it right when they do "Space Jam 2."
However, some "Space Jam" fans are not sold on the idea of having LeBron James take the lead in "Space Jam 2." In a previous report from Parent Herald, a number of fans wish that some other NBA player will take the lead for the upcoming film instead of James.
Anthony Sain suggested that Kevin Durant or Stephen Curry will do great for "Space Jam 2." Another, suggested Kobe Bryant. Meanwhile, Human Individual, commented that "Space Jam 2" will only be a disaster. There is no doubt that many are still attached to Michael Jordan's "Space Jam" that they are doubtful of the next film's success.
Who else could play the role in space jam 2? I was thinking KD or Curry but with Curry you would have to have Riley. Davis cud be a Monstar

I am quite excited about Space Jam 2 but it should have been Kobe instead of LeBron remaking it. But LeBron will do. — Von (@VonGarcon) July 22, 2015
Space Jam 2 is going to be a glorious disaster.

Meanwhile, the former "Space Jam" star Michael Jordan, himself, wants some other NBA player to take the role he once dominated. Per IGN, MJ wants Los Angeles Clippers power forward Blake Griffin to star in "Space Jam 2" instead of LeBron James.
