In a recent interview, Don Cheadle appeared to confirm that Michael Jordan would be returning for Space Jam: A New Legacy, the sequel to the beloved family film that starred the basketball legend opposite the Looney Tunes. However, Cheadle did say that his involvement wasn’t what you’d expect, and a new rumor claims to have cast light on the situation, and it could turn out to be a major disappointment for fans of His Airness.
As per the rumor, it won’t be six-time NBA championship winner Michael Jordan showing up but one-time MTV Movie & TV Award winner Michael B. Jordan instead, which would be hugely ironic after the actor admitted not too long ago he’d never actually met his famous namesake beside a brief handshake and hello.
The report offers that a member of the Tune Squad will try and recruit their former player for the game at the center of the story on which the fate of the entire universe hinges, only to turn up with the wrong Michael Jordan. This is said to have come about after the Black Panther star regularly turned up to the set of A New Legacy to have various bits and pieces of merch signed by LeBron James, who then asked for a favor in return.
The Static Shock producer was shooting Warner Bros.’ legal drama Just Mercy in mid-2019 at the same time the Space Jam sequel was in production on the same lot, so the timeline definitely checks out, and it would also chime with Cheadle’s tease that Michael Jordan is indeed part of A New Legacy, just not in the way that anyone’s expecting him to be.
