NBA superstar Victor Wembanyama is also entering the world of entertainment through an animated series titled Alien Dunk. It is inspired by his famous nickname “Alien” and aims to present a unique story connected to basketball and sci-fi adventure.
The story follows a teenage version of Wembanyama who discovers that he is an alien from a planet where basketball is strictly forbidden. He is on a mission to save his world while balancing his teenage life with his dream of becoming an NBA star. The show is aimed at kids and family audiences, so it is expected to inspire and entertain viewers.
As co-creator and executive producer, Wembanyama actively participates in making the series more personal. It's also a way for young fans to get to know him not only on the basketball court, but also in the entertainment field.
Alien Dunk is not just an animated series, it is also the beginning of a larger franchise. It is set to expand into video games, publishing, and interactive experiences, paving the way for Wembanyama's influence to spread further around the world.
In the current market, Wembanyama's NBA contract worth nearly ₱5.6 billion per year is proof of his big name. So it's no wonder why his entry into the entertainment industry is also a big step.
