Director Malcolm D. Lee already has another pitch in mind for a third sequel that sees the film’s plot surround Dwayne Johnson, following the global release of ‘Space Jam: A New Legacy’ starring Lebron James.
Should a Space Jam 3 come to be, Lee told Entertainment Weekly, “Dwayne Johnson would be an interesting choice. It would be different. I’m not sure what his skillset would be, maybe he goes back to wrestling. That might be interesting.” Lee also shared that Michael Jordan and LeBron James have set the bar extremely high for their respective films. With both athletes having such an athletic notoriety both on and off the court, it would be difficult for other basketball stars to live up to a similar hype.

Lee considers The Rock who ultimately has an interesting career that saw the wrestler also play college and professional football, which later proppelled him to score big acting projects.
Only time will tell whether or not a third Space Jam is in the works and who will be chosen to be the titular character.
Do we even need another ‘Space Jam’ sequel?
