Space Jam Latest News, Photos, and Videos

Zendaya is making her debut in the new Space Jam: A New Legacy trailer!

ESPN released a new trailer for the movie where fans are treated to a first listen at the 24-year-old actress’ voice as Lola Bunny.

The new trailer is framed in a mock documentary that builds up to the plot of the new movie.

At one point, Lola Bunny confidently proclaims to LeBron James and the rest of the Looney Toones that they are part of “Lola’s Team,” which is then followed with a hilarious cutaway to an upset looking Bugs Bunny.

When it was first announced that Zendaya had joined the cast, the movie’s director Malcolm D. Lee explained why he decided to give Lola Bunny a modern new look.

Space Jam: A New Legacy premieres July 16 in theaters and on HBO Max.

The new movie Space Jam: A New Legacy is only months away from being released, but an exciting casting announcement was just made!

Warner Bros. just revealed that Zendaya has joined the cast as Lola Bunny, according to Entertainment Weekly. The first trailer, featuring NBA star LeBron James, was also released and you can watch it below.

Space Jam: A New Legacy director Malcolm D. Lee previously revealed that Lola Bunny will have a different look in the new film to make her more “fully-realized.”

“Lola was not politically correct,” he previously told EW about the previous portrayal of the character. “This is a kids’ movie, why is she in a crop top? It just felt unnecessary, but at the same time there’s a long history of that in cartoons.”

He added, “We reworked a lot of things, not only her look, like making sure she had an appropriate length on her shorts and was feminine without being objectified, but gave her a real voice. For us, it was, let’s ground her athletic prowess, her leadership skills, and make her as full a character as the others.”

Zendaya will also be seen on the big screen this year in another Warner Bros. movie, Dune!

A few weeks ago, Zendaya made headlines when she altered a certain interview question she was asked.
