Space Jam: A New Legacy - "LeBron Questions Bugs"

Exposition-heavy sequences like this one can often be challenging and not the most fun for story sketch artists to draw, but I usually try to wiggle in some light humor to break up the monotony of copious dialogue. In this one-on-one sequence between Bugs Bunny and a Looney Tune-ized LeBron James aboard Marvin's commandeered space ship, I pitched it with Bugs donning a Marvin the Martian-style Roman soldier helmet, based on the presumption that there would most likely be a spare one on the ship. It was a prop that I felt Bugs could play off of. I also shamelessly added the "Superman/Cleveland" dialogue exchange as a callback to another LeBron James movie, "Trainwreck", where in that film LeBron, again playing himself, was boasting to Bill Haidar's character about all the finer accomplishments of Cleveland, Ohio. I was pleasantly surprised both my jokes made it into the final film.
