Bill Skarsgrd did a fantastic job of terrifying children in both of the It films as Pennywise. His chilling performance resulted in many members of the audience having to sleep with the lights on after witnessing his portrayal of the infamous Stephen King character. But now it seems as if his next appearance will be making folks laugh instead of cry, as the horrific clown is set to show up in the hugely anticipated Space Jam 2.

In the 90s, Michael Jordan was one of the biggest names in sports, and the Looney Tunes were a powerhouse in the world of cartoons, so naturally, the two would pair for a film that would be a massive success. Space Jam saw the NBA icon team up with Bugs Bunny and the rest of the gang to take on the Monstars, a group of aliens that stole basketball skills from some of the worlds greatest players, like Charles Barkley, Shawn Bradley, Muggsy Bogues, Patrick Ewing and Larry Johnson. It also featured an excellent performance from Bill Murray, who proved hes got some moves on the court.

Now, Space Jam 2 is officially in the works with Malcom D. Lee attached to direct, and taking the place of Jordan will be none other than Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James. Hell be taking the court with the Looney Tunes once again, but therell also be some very unexpected guests making appearances as well.

Sources close to WGTC the same ones who told us that Disney is developing a Beauty and the Beast spinoff for Gaston, and that a new Scream movie is in the works, both of which we now know to be true say that Pennywise will be in Space Jam 2. Hell be a CGI creation in the film, but Skarsgrd is reportedly returning to voice the shapeshifting monster. How exactly hell be involved, that we dont yet know, but this news comes hot on the heels of an earlier report which says well be seeing Jim Carreys Mask in the movie, too.

Weve also been told that some other unexpected characters could appear as well, and while were trying to see what else we can dig up in that regard, for now, it seems you can expect to see both Pennywise and the aforementioned Mask on the court when Space Jam 2 slam dunks its way into theaters on July 16th, 2021.

While talk of a female-led Mask spinoff has been percolating over the last few months, nothing official has yet to come to fruition. Nevertheless, if youve been hankering to see the return of everybodys favourite green-faced hero, then we may have some good news for you.

You see, according to sources close to We Got This Covered the same ones who told us that Bill Murray is returning in Ghostbusters: Afterlife and that another Scream movie is in the works, both of which are now confirmed the Dark Horse Comics superhero will be making an appearance in the upcoming live action/animation hybrid, Space Jam 2. Yes, you read that right.

Even though Jim Carreys awkward-but-loveable super-powered protagonist will only be a CGI recreation, Carrey is apparently returning to record voice work for the iconic character. Specifically, our sources say that hell be seen as a referee during one of the basketball games in the movie. Pretty neat surprise, eh?

Gonna be hard pressed to top Cats

Thank god. I thought they were gonna leave out the most important factor of Space Jam...fuckin Pennywise

---

Holy shit, are they just gonna do Who Framed Roger Rabbit with basketball? This sounds fucking amazing.

I didn't even know Space Jam 2 was confirmed until I saw an article about Jim Carrey playing The Mask in it. Blew my mind.

---

"Pennywise, will you just shoot a normal jump shot?"
"We all shoot floaters down here."

---

This movie is going to be horrendous.

Youd be surprised.

Okay, so WB are bringing back a bunch of their wackiest and most terrifying properties to put in Space Jam 2. It sounds like they're doing a Lego Batman Movie sort of thing, which saw Voldemort, the Daleks and the Eye of Sauron as antagonistic forces summoned by the Joker - make the opposite team unexpected and exciting IPs, and you'll get nerd culture points.
