Jordan starred in the 1996 film Space Jam which was partially shot in live-action but mostly in animation. Jordan played himself in the film which followed the animated Looney Tunes’ kidnapping of him to help them defeat a group of evil cartoons in a basketball game.

The film was a commercial success, making over $230 million at box office, so it’s no surprise there’s been rumblings about a sequel. Earlier this year, Warner Bros renewed the rights for Space Jam so, as Time reports, there is the distinct possibility of a sequel. Further rumours were fuelled when Lebron James partnered up with Warner Brothers and there was speculation James would feature in the sequel.
