Space Jam 2: Every Confirmed Member Of Bugs Bunny's Team (2024)

Bugs Bunny and LeBron James will be leading a new Tune Squad onto the basketball court in Space Jam: A New Legacy. Similar to the original movie with Michael Jordan, a number of fan favorites from the classic Looney Tunes cartoons will be putting their differences aside and using teamwork to save the day.

While there are likely dozens of Looney Tunes characters to be featured in the movie as spectators, only 15 (Bugs Bunny included) are confirmed to be participating in the match against the film’s antagonists, the Goon Squad. Due to a controversy, Pepe Le Pew – who was on the team in the first movie – will be sitting out for the sequel. And based on what was shown in the trailer and TV spots, it looks like the Barnyard Dawg and Marvin the Martian (who was a referee in thefirstSpace Jam) may not be playing either. However, it could be that there are other team members who haven’t been shown yet.

Either way, the Looney Tunes will still have plenty of representatives tearing up the court for the match with the Goon Squad. Given that most of the characters on the team are at least partially responsible for the win over the Monstars in the 1996 movie, it’s not hard to see why Bugs Bunny refers to them as his “dream team”. Here’s every Looney Tunes character confirmed to be recruited by Bugs for Space Jam 2’s Tune Squad.

Lola Bunny

Lola Bunny stands out as a character original to Space Jam. Long before her appearances in other Looney Tunes shows, she was utilized as a love interest to Bugs and a player with skills that far exceeded the other Tunes in the first film. That’s why it’s fitting that Lola is back for the Tune Squad’s next basketball match. With a much-needed, less-sexualized redesign, she stands a chance at once again being a memorable addition to the lineup.

Gossamer

Gossamer, the giant red monster who chased Bugs Bunny in the original cartoons, was in the stands when the Monstars faced the Tune Squad in Space Jam. But the trailer for Space Jam: A New Legacy confirms that he’ll actually be taking part in the game this time around. It’s possible that his size will give them an advantage in certain situations.

Granny

Of the 15 confirmed Tunes on the team, only two weren’t on the original roster. One is Gossamer, while the other is Granny, the elderly owner of Sylvester and Tweety. Though she was just a cheerleader in Space Jam, it appears that she’ll be a valuable member of the squad in the second movie. In fact, her impressive moves on the court were one of the highlights of the Space Jam 2 trailer.

Foghorn Leghorn

Foghorn Leghorn, the nosy and talkative rooster who loves tormenting the Barnyard Dawg, was spotted alongside the other Tunes in the trailer. Since his favorite target may not join him on the court, Foghorn may use his classic pranks on members of the Goon Squad instead.

Known for his insatiable hunger and destructive tendencies, the Tasmanian Devil unfortunately didn’t make that much of an impact in the game against the Monstars, but the contest with the Goon Squad in Space Jam 2 can give him a chance to make up for that. In the cartoons, the fearsome animal is capable of sending people fleeing in fear. With what he brings to the table, he could be a great secret weapon for LeBron James.

Daffy Duck

Daffy Duck, the second most important Looney Tunes character, is sure to play a major role in the team’s next game. He was one of only three Tunes (the other two being Bugs and Lola) to make it through the entire game in Space Jam. With that being considered, he has certainly earned his place on Bugs Bunny’sdream team” and will hopefully contribute in a big way to the movie’s humor as well.

Elmer Fudd

Elmer Fudd took a break from hunting Bugs in Space Jam to suit up as a member of the Tune Squad for Michael Jordan, and will be doing the same with LeBron James’ bunch. Not unlike how Granny surprised her teammates in the Space Jam 2 trailer, Elmer’s performance in the first game revealed that he was more competent at basketball than he ever was at being a hunter.

Wile E. Coyote & Roadrunner

The self-proclaimed genius known as Wile E. Coyote has been scheming for decades to get his hands on the elusive Roadrunner. They’re usually depicted as enemies, but just as they did in the original film, the two will be serving on the same team in Space Jam 2. With Roadrunner’s speed and Wile E.’s proficiency with explosives, it’s easy to see why Bugs would pick them.

Yosemite Sam

As one of Bugs Bunny’s two greatest enemies, Yosemite Sam has been everything from a cowboy, a pirate, a Roman centurion, a spaceman, a soldier in the Confederate Army, and more. Space Jam notably added “basketball player” to the list. Sam, who literally roped Jordan into the Looney Tunes world in the first film, will be reprising his role on the Tune Squad. Though Sam and Elmer were stripped of their guns for other Looney Tunes projects, the trailer shows thatthe new gun rule won't keep Sam fromsporting his two pistols for his next big-screen outing.

Speedy Gonzalez

Speedy Gonzales has been the subject of criticism for years because some feel that he comes with too many racial stereotypes. While being a controversial character has caused Pepe Le Pew to be cut from the movie, that hasn’t held back the “Fastest Mouse in all of Mexico”. He doesn’t have a large presence in the trailer, but he was included in a few shots and is confirmed to be a member of the team. That could be good for the Tunes, as his speed in the cartoons made him impossible for anyone to catch.

Porky Pig

Porky Pig, who made his debut in 1935, is the oldest Looney Tunes character featured in the movie. Complete with his trademark stutter, Porky will appear in Space Jam: A New Legacy to help James and all the others. In the trailer, Porky appeared to be quite worried (and understandably so) when sizing up the Goon Squad.

Sylvester & Tweety

Including in the Tune Squad’s returning roster are the cat-and-mouse duo of Sylvester and Tweety. Tweety used karate to take care of the Monstars in one scene, and Sylvester – when not distracted by his hunger for Tweety – was able to score a few crucial baskets in Space Jam. Since both have popped up quite a bit in the marketing, the two could be core members of Bugs Bunny’s squad in Space Jam: A New Legacy.
