Cheadle joins LeBron James in the follow-up to the 1996 movie. The reboot of Warner Bros’ Looney Tunes stable is directed by Terence Nance.

While the casting has been confirmed, no further details are currently known about his role.
Cheadle currently stars in the 1980s-set Showtime comedy Black Monday. He also starred in Avengers: Endgame, the second-biggest-grossing film of all time. You can see him next in the upcoming sci-fi drama series Don’t Look Deeper for Quibi.
