Ceyair Wright on Playing LeBron James’ Son in Space Jam: A New Legacy & Being an Elite Athlete

Ceyair Wright is not your typical triple threat. The 2021 high school graduate is an All-American, top-five cornerback, committed to play at USC this fall. He also can be seen playing the son of NBA super star, LeBron James in one of the most anticipated films of the year, Space Jam: A New Legacy. If that were not enough to fill his busy schedule, the 18-year-old also can sing!

We had a chance to chat with Ceyair and quickly learned how talented he really is. Trust us, it’s mind-blowing! He told us about athletic records he holds. Plus, the ironic way he learned he nabbed the spot in Space Jam: A New Legacy. He then dished on working with the star studded cast. The cast included top athletes like, Damien Lillard, Anthony Davis, Chris Paul, Diana Taurasi. Some major actors included: Zendaya, Don Cheadle and Gabrielle Iglesias!

Space Jam: A New Legacy

The an animated/live-action event with LeBron James. He goes on an epic adventure alongside timeless Tune Bugs Bunny. This transformational journey is the manic mashup of two worlds. It reveals just how far some parents will go to connect with their kids.

When LeBron and his young son Dom are trapped in a digital space by a rogue A.I., LeBron must get them home safe by leading Bugs, Lola Bunny and the whole gang of notoriously undisciplined Looney Tunes to victory over the A.I.’s digitized champions on the court: a powered-up roster of professional basketball stars as you’ve never seen them before.

(L-r) HARPER LEIGH-ALEXANDER as Xosha James, SONEQUA MARTIN-GREEN as Kamiyah James and CEYAIR WRIGHT as Darius James in Warner Bros. Pictures’ animated/live-action adventure “SPACE JAM: A NEW LEGACY,” a Warner Bros. Pictures release.

It’s Tunes versus Goons in the highest-stakes challenge of his life. It will redefine LeBron’s bond with his son and shine a light on the power of being yourself. The ready-for-action Tunes destroy convention, supercharge their unique talents and surprise even “King” James by playing the game their own way.
