It's not surprising that the NBA star and actor, who has been getting rave reviews for his comedic performance in the Amy Schumer comedy Trainwreck, will be getting the chance to spread his wings and show off his acting chops. However, the new deal with Warner Bros. is adding fuel to the fire of Space Jam speculation.
Recently, the studio filed to renew the trademark on the 1996 animated/live-action classic, protecting their rights to sell merchandize and create new content under that name.
