War Machine Actor Don Cheadle’s Role in Space Jam 2 Revealed


Warner Brothers is currently working on a sequel for Space Jam, and while Michael Jordon was the lead star in the original film, Space Jam 2 seems to be drawing its superstar power from War Machine actor Don Cheadle.

While the Avengers: Infinity War and the Avengers: Endgame actor has yet to reveal his role in the upcoming Space Jam sequel, it looks like Cheadle's co-star make have actually revealed the Marvel actor's role in the movie.

Best known for playing Andre in the FX series The League, actor Paul Scheer has been working together with Don Cheadle on the second season of Black Monday. Making a recent appearance on the Clip City podcast (Via Cinema Blend), Scheer decided to reveal a little secret about Cheadle's role in Space Jam 2.

"Actually Don Cheadle, who I do Black Monday with, he's the bad guy in Space Jam [2], and he said LeBron's really great. He was great in Trainwreck too," the actor told the hosts of the podcast.

While this isn't an official confirmation that the Marvel star is going to be the villain of Space Jam 2, Scheer seems to be a close enough source of information. We'll just have to wait and see whether Warner Brothers really is going to make Cheadle a villain –a bit surprising considering his role as hero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Space Jam 2 is set to premiere in cinemas July 16, 2021.
