===Development===
  
−
A sequel to ''Space Jam'' was planned as early as 1997. As development began, ''Space Jam 2'' was going to involve a new [[basketball]] competition between the Looney Tunes and a new villain named Berserk-O!, who banishes the Looney Tunes to Earth. Artist [[Bob Camp]] was tasked with designing Berserk-O! and his henchmen. [[Joe Pytka]] would have returned to direct and [[Spike Brandt and Tony Cervone]] signed on as the animation supervisors. However, [[Michael Jordan]] did not agree to star in a sequel. According to Camp, a producer lied to design artists by claiming that Jordan had signed on in order to keep development going. Warner Bros. eventually canceled plans for ''Space Jam 2''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://animatedviews.com/2012/artist-bob-camp-recalls-the-ill-fated-space-jam-2/ |title=Artist Bob Camp recalls the ill-fated "Space Jam 2" |publisher=Animated Views |date=November 30, 2012 |accessdate=2014-06-18}}</ref>

The potential sequel reentered development as ''Spy Jam'' and was to star [[Jackie Chan]] in a different script. The studio was also planning a film titled ''Race Jam'' which would have starred [[Jeff Gordon]]. Additionally, Pytka revealed that following the first film's success, he had been pitched a story for a sequel that would have starred professional golfer [[Tiger Woods]], with Jordan in a smaller role. Pytka explained how the idea came from an out of studio script conference, with people who worked on the original film allegedly involved.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mrwavvy.com/interview-space-jam/|title="Space Jam" Director Reveals Spike Lee Almost Wrote the Film, Scrapped Tiger Woods Sequel|date=November 15, 2016|work=Mr. Wavvy}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.denofgeek.com/us/movies/space-jam/260047/the-space-jam-2-you-never-saw-almost-featured-tiger-woods|title=The Space Jam 2 You Never Saw Almost Featured Tiger Woods|publisher=|accessdate=June 4, 2017}}</ref> Producer [[Ivan Reitman]] was reportedly in favor of a film which would again star Jordan.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://consequenceofsound.net/2016/11/ivan-reitman-confirms-twins-sequel-still-in-the-works-with-eddie-murphy/|title=Ivan Reitman confirms Twins sequel still in the works with Eddie Murphy|date= November 23, 2016|work=consequenceofsound.net}}</ref> The follow-up films were ultimately cancelled in favor of ''[[Looney Tunes: Back in Action]]'' (2003). A film titled ''Skate Jam'' was in early development with [[Tony Hawk]] in the starring role. Plans were underway for production to begin immediately following the release of ''Looney Tunes: Back in Action'', but was cancelled given the poor financial reception to said film despite improved critical reception.<ref>https://twitter.com/tonyhawk/status/1081641577078874112/photo/1</ref>

Production

In February 2014, Warner Bros. announced a potential sequel set to star LeBron James. Charlie Ebersol was set to produce, with a script by his brother, Willie.[2] Representatives of James denied the claim that he would be involved.[3] In May 2014, James was quoted as saying, "I've always loved Space Jam. It was one of my favorite movies growing up. If I have the opportunity, it will be great."[4] In July 2015, James and his production company, SpringHill Entertainment, signed a deal with Warner Bros. for television, movies and digital content after receiving positive reviews for his acting role in Trainwreck.[5][6][7] On May 2, 2016, Justin Lin was said to be in talks to direct the sequel; co-writing the screenplay with Andrew Dodge and Alfredo Botello.[8] In August 2016, the Sneaker Bar Detroit company said that the movie is still in the works.[9]

In a November 2016 interview with Mr. Wavvy, Space Jam director Joe Pytka revealed that following the first film's success, he had been pitched a "really weird" idea for a sequel that would have starred pro golfer Tiger Woods, with Jordan in a smaller role. Pytka explained how the idea came from an out of studio script conference, with people who worked on the original film allegedly involved. Ultimately, nothing materialised from the idea.[10][11] Producer Ivan Reitman participated in similar interview with Mr. Wavvy, also in November 2016, in which he also revealed an idea he had for a sequel, though his sequel would have starred Jordan.[12] By August 2017, Justin Lin confirmed the film's oncoming production.[13]

Justin Lin mentioned in August 2017 that the movie is still continuing production, but the movie is currently in a clash with the Hotwheels movie to see which one gets released first.[14]
