A Space Jam 2 movie featuring LeBron James is looking more and more like a reality.

The latest development comes from the news today that LeBron James has signed a deal with Warner Bros., the studio behind the 1996 classic, to create movies, TV shows, and more through his SpringHill Entertainment company.

Of course that alone doesn't mean that LeBron will be taking a Mike-like role in a Space Jam remake, but Alex Weprin pointed out on Twitter that Warner Bros. filed new trademarks for "Space Jam" last month, making a sequel seem all the more likely.

We can already hear the Nike Basketball design team tossing around ideas for a Nike LeBron 15 "Space Jam."
