NBA star LeBron James to star in 'Space Jam 2'?

NBA star LeBron James has been tipped to star in the sequel to 1996 film Space Jam.

The Looney Tunes classic starred basketball legend Michael Jordan, who featured alongside cartoon characters Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.

After James's production company SpringHill Entertainment struck a deal with Warner Bros, there have been suggestions that the former Miami Heat star will be the face of the new film, according to the Daily Star.

Back in 2012, James, who now plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers, wrote on Twitter that he would "love" to be in a Space Jam sequel.
