‘Spaceballs 2’: 3 Stars Returning, 2 Stars Joining Sequel – Watch the Teaser!
Spaceballs 2 is coming!
A sequel to the Mel Brooks film is moving forward, and members of the original cast will be returning after over three decades since the original.
We now know that Rick Moranis and Bill Pullman are both returning for Spaceballs 2, in their respective roles as Darth Helmet and Lone Starr.
Mel Brooks will reportedly return as his Yoda satire character, “Yogurt,” and may also be reprising his secondary role as the bumbling “President Skroob” of Planet Spaceball, per Deadline.

Keke Palmer will join in an undisclosed role.
Rick has largely disappeared from Hollywood for years, last doing voice work in the ’00s for Brother Bear and Bob & Doug McKenzie. He only recently made an appearance in a Ryan Reynolds Mint Mobile ad. He also voiced Darth Helmet in a 2018 episode of The Goldbergs.
Bill had been working on the TV series The Sinner up until 2021, as well as starring in Murdaugh Murders: The Movie in 2023.
Sadly, we lost John Candy, who played Barf, as well as Joan Rivers, who played C-3PO knock-off “Dot Matrix.” It is not yet known if Daphne Zuniga will also return from the original film.
Amazon-MGM is producing the Spaceballs sequel, which is being directed by Josh Greenbaum, who also worked on Star Wars Behind the Mac: Skywalker Sound. Josh Gad co-wrote the screenplay with Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit. He will also co-star and co-produce.

The sequel is cheekily being described as “A Non-Prequel Non-Reboot Sequel Part Two – but with Reboot Elements – Franchise Expansion Film,” though no further details are available just yet.
Mel Brooks also put out a teaser for the sequel. Watch above!
Josh Gad also provided an update about Frozen 3.
