The new trailer for the long-awaited sequel Space Jam: A New Legacy is finally here — and it’s giving us all the nostalgia we need!
As fans may recall, the original film featured Michael Jordan immersed into the world of the Looney Tunes as he battled the alien Monstars — who took the skills of some basketball icons like Charles Barkley — in an attempt to save the cartoon squad. Following its release, the 1996 movie soon became a cult classic, earning over $230.4 million worldwide. But despite the film’s success, a sequel never came to our screens… until now!
