LeBron James may be new to playing basketball for the city of Los Angeles, but his business there has been impressive for years.

James, who has always been keen on acting, producing and contributing to film, showed off a picture on his Instagram that teased his biggest movie role yet:

The picture was posted by James in regard to his role in the long-anticipated blockbuster “Space Jam 2.”

James, who is becoming a regular on the Hollywood film scene, also seemed to be portraying just how far he has come since his tough times as a kid. To rise from one of millions of kids from the suburbs of Cleveland watching “Space Jam” with hoop dreams to starring in the second carnation seems to humble the megastar.

LeBron will star in the movie alongside Bugs Bunny, with “Black Panther” director Ryan Coogler serving as a producer. “Random Acts of Flyness” creator Terence Nance will direct the film, which is slated to begin shooting in 2019.

Best friend and super-agent Maverick Carter is on board with the film as well, serving as a producer as part of LeBron's SpringHill Entertainment.

There are also rumblings that Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan, who starred in the original film, will be making an appearance. If that proves to be the case, this has a chance to be the rare film that is actually better than the original.

There still has not been a confirmed release date announced for the film.
