Zendaya had big shoes, well, rabbit feet to fill with voicing Lola Bunny in Space Jam: A New Legacy, and she was up to the challenge.
“Honestly, I fully expect this film to not be good. That being said, I only wanted one thing: good Lola Bunny content. It looks like that is happening from merchandise, trailers, and the fact that they did go out of...
