Space Jam 2 fake? Twitter fans respond to viral movie HOAX, LeBron James disappointed? [PHOTO]

Earlier this week, this FAKE "Space Jam 2" movie poster went viral on Twitter:

But the truth is, Warner Brothers is NOT releasing a "Space Jam" follow-up in 2014 (unless the popular Hollywood movie studio and Miami Heat star LeBron James have some huge surprise planned for fans). As Mstars previously reported:

Several fans were pumped about the bogus movie poster - LeBron James to reprise Michael Jordan's classic Warner Brothers role from 1996? Hell yeah!

Unfortunately, this is all just a hoax.

"Space Jam 2" will not hit theaters in 2014... because currently it doesn't exist.

In two seperateTwitter question-and-answer sessions held in August 2012 and October 2013, LeBron expressed interest in starring in a "Space Jam" follow-up. For example:

Q: Do you love space Jam?
A: I love that movie. Wish I could do Space Jam 2!

That's all the proof one hoaxter needed to make this bogus movie poster.

Sorry, Bugs Bunny b-balling enthusiasts, "Space Jam 2" is not happening (at least not yet...).

Still, some Twitter fans "can't wait" -

@A1Summers: "If there is a 'Space Jam 2' it will be the second best film ever made after 'Space Jam 1.'"

@MannyFreshUK: "Omg omg omg 'Space Jam 2' is coming out with Lebron James!! Ejdjdjkdjnndm."

@MoodMan93: "'Space Jam 2' with LeBron James!?!?!?!? Oh shiiiitttttt sonnnnnnn! Every 90's kid loved 'Space Jam,' unless they were communist."

@joellagracee: "Did I just hear correctly in that there will be a 'Space Jam 2' with Lebron James?"

@JooeMaan: "Oh my days they're making a 'Space Jam 2!'"

LeBron has yet to comment about the rumors, but we have a feeling that if he was offered the part, he'd be more than happy to take it.
