Cedric Joe on Space Jam 2 and Filming with the Looney Tunes

With director Malcolm D. Lee’s Space Jam: A New Legacy opening in theaters this Friday and also streaming on HBO Max, I recently spoke with Cedric Joe about being part of the Space Jam sequel. During the interview, he talked about what people would be surprised to learn about the making of Space Jam 2, what it’s really like working with the Looney Tunes, all the Warner Bros. characters that appeared in the background of the basketball scenes, his upcoming Just Beyond series, and more.

Space Jam: A New Legacy sees LeBron James, along with his son Dom (Joe), trapped in a digital space by a rogue A.I. played by Don Cheadle. It’s up to James to get them home safe by leading Bugs, Lola Bunny and the Toon Squad gang to victory over the A.I.’s digitized champions on the court. The film is also loaded with tons of Warner Bros. characters in the background of the basketball scenes.
