Rick Moranis is returning to a galaxy very, very, very, very far away.
The actor is officially ending his decades-long hiatus from live-action acting for “ Spaceballs 2 ,” a sequel to the 1987 sci-fi parody “Spaceballs.” He’s reprising his role as Lord Dark Helmet alongside Bill Pullman as Lone Starr, Mel Brooks as the Yoda-esque being Yogurt, Daphne Zuniga as Princess Vespa, and George Wyner as Colonel Sandurz. They’ll be joined by newcomers to the goofy intergalactic adventure, including Josh Gad, Keke Palmer, Lewis Pullman and Anthony Carrigan.
Amazon MGM has confirmed the full cast now that production is underway. The studio also shared a behind-the-scenes photo of the stars, writers and director at a table read. “Spaceballs 2” is aiming to land in theaters in 2027.
