He announced he was turning his Carpool Karaoke segment into a series of comedy sketches last month - with the trailer seeing him and Will Smith riding in a helicopter.

And James Corden continued with his funny and borderline ridiculous antics on Tuesday, as he enlisted the help of LeBron James to fight off ninjas in his latest skit.

The NBA star, 32, was seen towering over the 38-year-old show host as they threateningly posed back to back, and geared up to take on their warrior opponents for the new clip.

Dream team: James Corden continued with his borderline ridiculous antics on Tuesday, as he enlisted the help of LeBron James for his latest Carpool Karaoke skit

Warriors, assemble: The pair appeared to fight off ninjas together in the funny clip, which will form part of the new Carpool Karaoke series on Apple Music later this year

Making an unconventional team, the stars were dressed in reasonably formal attire as they geared up for their slapstick fight on the streets of LA.

The Cleveland Cavaliers player looked suave in a pale blue suit jacket, paired with skinny camel tracksuit bottoms and a pair of smart black brogues - not your typical attire for a karate session.

Attempting to achieve the 'tough guy' look in his usual witty style, James instead opted for a black leather jacket, teamed with jeans and loafers.

Take THAT! The pair gave off the image they were professionals by shooting out a number of poses and martial arts positions

Packing a punch: They later practiced their best targeted hits as the ninjas began to approach

Tying together their image as a crime-fighting team however, both parties sported matching plaques round their necks, proving them to be acting as cops, as they geared themselves up for the task ahead.

Standing ominously back to back as they approached their opponents, the clip was entertaining from the off thanks to the huge height difference between the stars.

Shooting out a number of poses and martial arts positions, the ninjas then made their approach - which saw LeBron suddenly vanish, leaving James to hilariously struggle against his attackers single-handedly.

Clearly having a ball on set, James and the athlete were seen erupting into hysterics on multiple occasions as they shot the playful scenes for the upcoming series.

James took his beloved Carpool Karaoke series up a notch last month, when he launched a series of skits for Apple Music.

The Gavin and Stacey star is seen joined by a number of big names for the revamped edition of the series, including Will Smith, Ariana Grande, John Legend, Alicia Keys and Chelsea Handler.

Other stars set to feature are John Cena, Billy Eichner, Metallica, Michael Strahan and Jeff Gordon.

Shaking things up for the new version of the production, Corden is not set to host at the wheel for every episode - with the series seeing 16 celebrity pairs singing their favourite songs instead.

Carpool Karaoke has starred the likes of Justin Bieber, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Adele and Stevie Wonder in the past - with the Adele clip going viral online by scoring a whopping 42 million hits in five days.

Bigger things: The clip will be part of the new Carpool Karaoke series which was announced last month, featuring a series of skits for its own show on Apple Music

Adding to the fray: Other stars set to feature are John Cena, Billy Eichner, Metallica, Michael Strahan and Jeff Gordon

Much-loved: The Carpool Karaoke segment rose to prominence after its regular feature on the Late Late Show, which James took over hosting last year

A segment featuring the then First Lady Michelle Obama was even aired in July 2016, before a primetime special featuring highlights of the segment as well as a new clip with Jennifer Lopez was created - which went on to win an Emmy.

Talking on ITV's Lorraine earlier this year, James said he owes his success all to his wife Julia Carey - who agreed to make the move stateside at a chaotic time.

He said: 'All credit to my wife, who agreed to move when our daughter was five weeks old and our son was three.

'It was a massive undertaking. I work so hard in the week and then at the weekend, you click your fingers and it's like you are in the South Of France.

He then added in his usual witty style: 'Luckily it's our life for the foreseeable future or until I get sacked.'
