James had previously struggled to recruit players to join him in the movie, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.
"He's been recruiting players to come and try to be in 'Space Jam' with him this summer and he hasn't been able to close some of those deals," Windhorst reported in April.
James has now overcome those recruiting issues, and the "Space Jam 2" cast is coming together. The movie is scheduled for a July 2021 release.
