A Spaceballs sequel needs Rick Moranis and apparently he agrees. Rick Moranis is emerging from retirement to reprise his role as Lord Dark Helmet in Spaceballs 2.
Moranis joins returning stars Mel Brooks as Yogurt, Bill Pullman as Lone Starr, Daphne Zuniga as Princess Vespa, and George Wyner as Colonel Sandurz. Just announced newcomers include Josh Gad (Wolf Like Me), Keke Palmer (Nope), and Anthony Carrigan (Barry). It’ll be a family affair for Bill Pullman with the addition of his Thunderbolts* star son Lewis Pullman to the cast.
Production is currently underway, with Amazon MGM Studios aiming for a 2027 theatrical release.
The original 1987 film was written by Mel Brooks, Thomas Meehan, and Ronny Graham, with Brooks directing. The sequel will be directed by Josh Greenbaum (Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar), and Josh Gad, Benji Samit, and Dan Hernandez wrote the screenplay. Mel Brooks, Josh Gad, Josh Greenbaum, Kevin Salter, and Imagine Entertainment’s Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, and Jeb Brody serve as producers. Executive producers include Adam Merims, Benji Samit, and Dan Hernandez.
Per Amazon MGM Studios: “Plot details are being kept under lock, key, and an industrial-strength Schwartz shield.”
