Legendary comedian Mel Brooks has announced the upcoming release of 'Spaceballs 2,' a sequel to his 1987 sci-fi parody 'Spaceballs.' Brooks, age 98, will reprise his role as Yogurt and is involved as a writer, producer, and director. The sequel is set for theatrical release in 2027 and will feature a cast including Rick Moranis, who is returning from retirement to reprise his role as Dark Helmet, and Bill Pullman, who will reprise his role as Lone Starr. New cast members include Keke Palmer and Lewis Pullman, with the latter playing the son of Bill Pullman's character. Josh Gad will lead the cast and serve as a producer, expressing enthusiasm for working with Brooks and the project. The film is described as 'A Non-Prequel Non-Reboot Sequel Part Two but with Reboot Elements,' and is being produced by Amazon MGM Studios. Brooks shared a teaser clip on social media with the message, 'I told you we’d be back,' highlighting the film’s nostalgic and comedic tone. The project aims to satirize the proliferation of sci-fi sequels and spin-offs, referencing the original's parody of Star Wars and other franchises. Fans and industry insiders are excited about the return of iconic characters and the involvement of legendary figures in comedy and sci-fi.
