LeBron James Teaming-Up With Warner Bros.; ‘Space Jam 2’ Inbound?

The biggest star of basketball of this generation might be a big star in the movie screens as well. Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James is reportedly partnering with Warner Bros. to appear in their future TV and Film Projects.

Warner Bros. Chairman and CEO Kevin Tsujihara detailed the arrangement with The King via Bleacher Report:

"LeBron James has one of the most powerful, well-known brands in the world and we are excited to be in business with him and his partner, Maverick Carter, and SpringHill Entertainment," Tsujihara said. "The combination of LeBron's global media presence and Warner Bros.' unmatched production and distribution expertise is a big win for fans everywhere."

"We're excited to welcome LeBron and Maverick to the Warner Bros. family and look forward to partnering on incredible projects that will connect with consumers across a variety of platforms."

On the other hand, LeBron James is thrilled to be a part of Warner Bros. and shared his fascination on telling stories through media outlets.

"Connecting with my fans and telling meaningful stories have always been my passion," James said. "In everything I've done, from Nike commercials to Uninterrupted and Survivor's Remorse, it's always about connecting with people of all ages and providing unique content they can all enjoy..."

"And I've always loved movies, which makes Warner Bros. the ultimate partner to help us continue to push the envelope. I can't wait to see what we come up with."

When the news came out, some fans believe that "Space Jam 2" will finally be on the works. In fact, that speculation is leaning towards yes as Alex Weprin reported that Warner Bros. filed new trademarks for "Space Jam 2," while announcing the LeBron signing a month after.

Will "Space Jam 2" come to fruition? Stay tuned.
