Brand new character posters were just released for the upcoming Space Jam sequel, Space Jam: A New Legacy!
The upcoming movie will star LeBron James and the return of your favorite Looney Tunes characters.
Here’s a synopsis: This transformational journey is a manic mashup of two worlds that reveals just how far some parents will go to connect with their kids. When LeBron and his young son Dom are trapped in a digital space by a rogue A.I., LeBron must get them home safe by leading Bugs, Lola Bunny and the whole gang of notoriously undisciplined Looney Tunes to victory over the A.I.’s digitized champions on the court: a powered-up roster of professional basketball stars as you’ve never seen them before.
It’s Tunes versus Goons in the highest-stakes challenge of his life, that will redefine LeBron’s bond with his son and shine a light on the power of being yourself. The ready-for-action Tunes destroy convention, supercharge their unique talents and surprise even “King” James by playing the game their own way.
Space Jam: A New Legacy also stars Don Cheadle, Khris Davis, Sonequa Martin-Green, newcomer Cedric Joe, Jeff Bergman and Eric Bauza.

The Looney Tunes are back in this new look at the upcoming reboot series!
HBO Max is launching Looney Tunes Cartoons, bringing back all of your favorite Looney characters, including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety, Sylvester, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Marvin the Martian and Gossamer.
According to the streaming service, “Looney Tunes Cartoons echoes the high production value and process of the original Looney Tunes theatrical shorts with a cartoonist-driven approach to storytelling. Marquee Looney Tunes characters will be featured in their classic pairings in simple, gag-driven and visually vibrant stories.
The new series will include 80 eleven-minute episodes, each comprised of animated shorts that vary in length and include adapted storylines for today’s audience. Fans can also look forward to holiday-themed specials.”
Looney Tunes Cartoons premieres on HBO Max on January 21st. Check out the trailer right here!
In case you missed, after the announcement of the new series, it was revealed that two of the characters – Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam – will no longer wield guns.
Two of the Looney Tunes characters will be a little different moving forward.
In the reboot of the classic cartoon series, Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam will not be using guns like they did in the original series.
Warner Bros made the conscious decision to ban guns for the new cartoons on HBO Max.
“We’re not doing guns,” executive producer and showrunner Peter Browngardt told The New York Times. “But we can do cartoony violence — TNT, the Acme stuff. All that was kind of grandfathered in.”
Story Editor Johnny Ryan also opened up about how the show is still using violence through “this wave of anti-bullying”.
“We’re going through this wave of anti-bullying, everybody needs to be friends, everybody needs to get along,” he told NYT. “Looney Tunes is pretty much the antithesis of that. It’s two characters in conflict, sometimes getting pretty violent.”
