This is hilarious. Unfortunately for them, the movie industry has discovered there's more money in rebooting a nostalgic franchise than adding a sequel, so there will probably never be a "Space Jam 2". I wonder what their jam tastes like and if it's actually profitable.

You know it’s being made right?

  It’s not a sequel, it’s a reboot. It is not marketed as Soace Jam 2

    It is definitely a sequel to Space Jam. Just because it doesn't have a number in the title doesn't mean it's not a sequel.

      It's hard to say. It doesn't really seem to have any connection to the original Space Jam, other than the Looney Tunes. In the original, MJ joined with the Tunes to play against aliens, hence the "Space" in Space Jam. Space Jam: A New Legacy takes place in a virtual world. In the original, the Looney Tunes actually existed on Earth, but in this new one, it seems that they exist in the virtual world. I'd say we have to see if there's any other connection to the original film other than the name and Looney Tunes.

      The term is "soft reboot" [1]. It's a common tactic used very widely. See Jurassic World (Jurassic Park), Star Wars: The Force Awakens (SW: A New Hope), X-Men First Class (X-Men 1/2/3), the new Jumanji films etc etc. [1] https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SoftReboot https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SoftReboot

  I knew they were making a new Space Jam but seeing as it was just called "Space Jam", I thought it was a reboot. Looks like it isn't really a reboot, but it's also not a continuation of the story so I wouldn't call it a "sequel" either.
