'Space Jam 2' cast to include NBA stars Anthony Davis, Damian Lillard, Diana Taurasi, and more
"Space Jam 2" is reported to finally have its all-star cast.
Lebron James' new teammate Anthony Davis is said to be on board, along with Chris Paul, Klay Thompson, and Damian Lillard playing key roles in the highly anticipated sequel.
WNBA star Diana Taurasi will also have a role, with the Ogwumike sisters, Nneka and Chiney.

The list doesn't stop there as several more NBA and WNBA players are expected to be featured.
The report comes over a month after NBA insider Brian Windhorst said that James was struggling to recruit players to take part.
Yet, Lillard has a contract with Anta and Thompson wears Adidas, so that doesn't seem to be an issue anymore.

The NBA All-Stars join a talented production team with "Black Panther" director Ryan Coogler producing the sequel and HBO's "Random Acts of Flyness" slotted as the director.
"Space Jam 2" begins production this summer and is scheduled to hit theaters on July 16, 2021.
