“Black Panther” director Ryan Coogler is set to produce a sequel

series “Random Acts of Flyness,” will direct the
film.

2019 NBA offseason.

for “Black Panther,” the blockbuster Marvel
film released this spring. “For Ryan to be able to
bring that to kids, it’s amazing,” James told the outlet of the
black heroes that appeared in “Black Panther.”
James last starring role came in Amy Schumer’s 2015 romantic
comedy, “Trainwreck.”
“Space Jam 2” has been a long-rumored production, but James
confirmed to THR in 2016 that he would star in the sequel. At
the time, THR reported that “Fast and Furious 6”
director Justin Lin was slated to direct the film.
