In discussing her excitement for the film, Zendaya recounts her first call from Producer Ryan Coogler. “He was like, ‘We’re doing this new version of Space Jam and we’re doing it with LeBron and we’d love for you to be our Lola. Kind of re-imagine what the character represents, this new chapter of this film and who she is, and we’d love for you to be a part of it,” she narrates.
“And obviously I was honored to say the least. I kind of grew up with the film because both of my parents are basketball players…I think I was born the year it came out. I think I was a couple months old,” she continues.
The film serves as a sequel to the 1990’s classic. DEADLINE explains that the film follows NBA superstar LeBron James as he’s thrust into a digital space known as “The Serververse,” where he has his son taken away by an evil algorithm known as Al-G Rhythm (Don Cheadle). Here, he teams up with the Looney Tunes, competing in basketball against the algorithm’s Goon Squad, with the safe return of his son on the line.
Space Jam: A New Legacy premieres in theaters and HBO Max on Friday, July 16th.
