It’s been 25 years since the release of the original Space Jam.
And now a quarter of a century later, the second rendition of the film has finally been released into the world.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, its director Malcolm D. Lee says he’s absolutely not ruling out a third film.
Lee said, “I never say never. It’s all going to be about whether the fans respond to this positively.”
“But I think the bar has been set so high in terms of the first one with this global iconic superstar in Michael Jordan, and now the same global iconic superstar in LeBron James, who transcends sports,” he continued.
“Who is that next person to put into that universe? And then you’ve got to find a script and story that’s good enough to not repeat what’s been done but will capture the spirit of it and keep it going.”
During the interview, when Lee was asked if he had anyone in mind to play the potential third movie’s protagonist, turns out that yes, he does have someone in mind.
“Dwayne Johnson would be an interesting choice,” he said.
“It would be different. I’m not exactly sure what his skillset would be, maybe he goes back to wrestling. That might be interesting.”
The film’s soundtrack was also recently released, with the announcement made with a special video released on social media.
It shows a number of artists who are set to appear on the soundtrack, as well as voice behind the characters.
