Zendaya is making her debut as Lola Bunny!

ESPN released a new trailer for the upcoming Space Jam: A New Legacy starring LeBron James.

In the new trailer, fans are treated to a first listen at the 24-year-old actress’ voice as Lola Bunny.

The new trailer is framed in a mock documentary that builds up to the plot of the new movie.

At one point, Lola Bunny confidently proclaims to LeBron and the rest of the Looney Toones that they are part of “Lola’s Team,” which is then followed with a hilarious cutaway to an upset looking Bugs Bunny.

When it was first announced that Zendaya had joined the cast, the movie’s director Malcolm D. Lee explained why he decided to give Lola Bunny a modern new look.

Space Jam: A New Legacy premieres July 16 in theaters and on HBO Max.

People are upset with LeBron James after his tweet where he seemingly threatened a police officer.

This week, the 36-year-old L.A. Lakers player took to his Twitter and posted a photo of the white police officer who tragically killed young teen, Ma’Khia Bryant. “You’re Next #Accountability,” he captioned the photo of the officer in question, Nicholas Reardon.

LeBron then took down the tweet and then shared an explanation as to why he deleted it.

“I’m so damn tired of seeing Black people killed by police,” LeBron wrote. “I took the tweet down because its being used to create more hate -This isn’t about one officer. it’s about the entire system and they always use our words to create more racism. I am so desperate for more ACCOUNTABILITY.”

However, people are still upset with LeBron and have started a campaign on Twitter to boycott his upcoming movie Space Jam 2.

“#boycottspacejam @KingJames crossed a line. He needs to be held accountable,” one person tweeted.

Zendaya has joined the cast of the upcoming movie Space Jam: A New Legacy in the role of Lola Bunny!

The 24-year-old Emmy-winning actress will be voicing the iconic character in the sequel to the 1996 movie, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Space Jam: A New Legacy director Malcolm D. Lee previously revealed that Lola Bunny will have a different look in the new film to make her more “fully-realized.”

“Lola was not politically correct,” he previously told EW about the previous portrayal of the character. “This is a kids’ movie, why is she in a crop top? It just felt unnecessary, but at the same time there’s a long history of that in cartoons.”

He added, “We reworked a lot of things, not only her look, like making sure she had an appropriate length on her shorts and was feminine without being objectified, but gave her a real voice. For us, it was, let’s ground her athletic prowess, her leadership skills, and make her as full a character as the others.”

Zendaya will also be seen on the big screen this year in another Warner Bros. movie, Dune!

A few weeks ago, Zendaya made headlines when she altered a certain interview question she was asked.

The new Space Jam: A New Legacy trailer is here!

The first trailer for the new movie dropped Saturday (March 3) and shows LeBron James getting trapped in a digital landscape by an evil algorithm, forcing him to lead the Looney Tunes in a basketball game against a team of AIs.

The clip even includes a sneaky Game of Thrones reference!

Here’s a summary for the movie: This transformational journey is a manic mashup of two worlds that reveals just how far some parents will go to connect with their kids.

When LeBron and his young son Dom are trapped in a digital space by a rogue A.I., LeBron must get them home safe by leading Bugs, Lola Bunny and the whole gang of notoriously undisciplined Looney Tunes to victory over the A.I.’s digitized champions on the court: a powered-up roster of professional basketball stars as you’ve never seen them before.

Space Jam: A New Legacy premieres July 16 in theaters and on HBO Max.

Pepe Le Pew is not going to be included in Warner Bros new Space Jam sequel.

Deadline reports that the Looney Tunes character will not appear in the new sequel to the 1996 film, Space Jam: A New Legacy starring Lebron James.

The decision comes after New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow slammed the French skunk for perpetuating rape culture in a column about racial bias in Dr. Suess’ books.

He defended the statement on Twitter, writing, “RW blogs are mad bc I said Pepe Le Pew added to rape culture. Let’s see. 1. He grabs/kisses a girl/stranger, repeatedly, w/o consent and against her will. 2. She struggles mightily to get away from him, but he won’t release her 3. He locks a door to prevent her from escaping.”

A specific scene has been cut from the movie after the controversy, which featured a Casablanca-inspired cafe sequence where Jane the Virgin actress Greice Santo slapped Pepe across the face after he kissed her arm. Lebron then tells Pepe he can’t grab other Tunes without their consent.

Greice was reportedly upset that the scene had been cut from the film. A spokesperson for Greice said, “This was such a big deal for Greice to be in this movie. Even though Pepe is a cartoon character, if anyone was going to slap a sexual harasser like him, Greice wished it would be her. Now the scene is cut, and she doesn’t have that power to influence the world through younger generations who’ll be watching Space Jam 2, to let younger girls and younger boys know that Pepe’s behavior is unacceptable.”

Last week it was revealed another Looney Tunes character would be getting a major revamp for the sequel.

One of the biggest trending topics on Twitter on Thursday (March 4) was “Lola Bunny” after the Space Jam character’s new look for the upcoming sequel was revealed.

New photos from the upcoming movie Space Jam: A New Legacy, which will star LeBron James and the cast of Looney Tunes characters, were debuted in Entertainment Weekly‘s new issue.

In the first movie, Lola had a voluptuous figure and wore a crop top and short shorts as her basketball uniform. In the sequel, her breasts will not be as prominent and she’s wearing a full length jersey.

“This is 2021,” director Malcolm D. Lee told EW. “It’s important to reflect the authenticity of strong, capable female characters.”

Lee said he was caught off guard by how Lola was “very sexualized” in the first movie, so he decided to rework her look.
